Findings (10)
- Caterpillar Metamorphosis and Memory PersistenceEmpirical demonstration that memories persist through massive brain and body remodeling during metamorphosis, challenging notions of stable Self-substrate binding.
- Caterpillar-to-butterfly memory persistence despite radical brain refactoring
- Caterpillar-to-butterfly memory remapping demonstrates that being does not bring specific memories but deep lessons redeployed in new embodiment
- Caterpillars retain memories through metamorphosis into butterflies despite drastic brain remodeling.
- Identity persistence through metamorphosis
- Insect larvae retain memories through complete brain remodeling during metamorphosis to adult form.Shows that identity and cognitive continuity persist despite radical neural substrate change.
- Learned behavior memories persist through brain metamorphosis in insects.Caterpillars that learn a behavior retain it as adults despite brain being drastically remodelled, showing memory mapping across substrates.
- Memory Persistence Through Metamorphosis Despite Brain Reconstruction
- Memory Transfer Across MetamorphosisEmpirical observation that caterpillars retain learned memories through pupation despite radical brain refactoring, suggesting memory as salience rather than fidelity.
- Memory transfer via brain extracts in AplysiaDavid Glanzman's experiments show trained Aplysia brain extracts, injected into naïve subjects, enable the recipient to extract meaning and modify behavior; demonstrates remapping independent of precise placement.
Claims (2)
- Memory is a candidate invariant that enables a Self to persist despite drastic alterations of substrate.Memory transfer across tissues and through metamorphosis supports persistence of Self.
- Salience preservation over fidelity in memory
