Worms reveal memory tricks and RNA link to learning
In a 1966 Q and A, researchers discuss memory mechanisms in flatworms, the role of RNA, and experiments showing trained worms pass learning to others. They describe RNA transfer, RNAse effects, and potential memory pills like Cylert under study at Michigan and Albany. The Worm Runner's Digest chronicles these findings and related debates.
