- Empirical demonstration that memories persist through massive brain and body remodeling during metamorphosis, challenging notions of stable Self-substrate binding.
- Empirical observation that caterpillars retain learned memories through pupation despite radical brain refactoring, suggesting memory as salience rather than fidelity.
- Proposed mechanism explaining behavioral continuity in insects undergoing radical morphogenesis.
- Caterpillars that learn a behavior retain it as adults despite brain being drastically remodelled, showing memory mapping across substrates.
- Empirical example where memories remain despite drastic refactoring of brain tissue and body; demonstrates need for creative reinterpretation rather than passive storage.
