- Empirical evidence that memories persist through regeneration; challenges substrate-dependence of identity.
- Evidence that memory and anatomical form are tightly linked; information processing enables integration of behavioral and morphological change.
- Planarians derived from tail fragments of trained worms retain original information after brain regenerationfinding0.849Behavioral memories in planaria persist through complete brain regeneration, indicating movement of memory across tissues.
- Worms trained before decapitation re-acquire the memory after regenerating a new brain, showing transfer of information across tissues.
- Key evidence that morphogenetic memories are stored in bioelectric circuits and are rewritable via transient voltage state modifications; memory persists across multiple regeneration cycles.
- Empirical finding that planaria tail fragments retain learned information and imprint memories onto newly regenerated brains.
- Summarizes the two-headed planarian phenomenon.
