finding:trained-planarian-flatworms-regenerating-new-heads-retain-memory-of-learned-behaviors-with-behavioral-engrams-imprinted-on-newly-formed-brain-tissueTrained planarian flatworms regenerating new heads retain memory of learned behaviors, with behavioral engrams imprinted on newly formed brain tissue.
Evidence that memory and anatomical form are tightly linked; information processing enables integration of behavioral and morphological change.

- Empirical evidence that memories persist through regeneration; challenges substrate-dependence of identity.
- Key evidence that morphogenetic memories are stored in bioelectric circuits and are rewritable via transient voltage state modifications; memory persists across multiple regeneration cycles.
