Scientists Made Snails Remember Something That Never Happened to Them

When scientists injected RNA from the brain cells of trained snails to untrained snails, the animals behaved as if they remembered the trained snails’ experiences.

Just an extra side note I got excited about ---- Scientists are actually working on implanting memories! :O

Erasing bad memories

David Glanzman (prof. of biology, physiology & neurobiology @ UCLA) & his team have discovered that a proteine kinase (PKM), present in marine snails, could allow the erasure of bad memories from the human recall.

This is a very hot topic because although this perspective seems tempting for people living with traumas & thus doomed to relive upsetting moments, it raises crucial problems regarding personal identity & our responsibility towards others.
