One experiment that was purported to show a chemical basis for memory involved training Planaria to solve an extremely simple "maze", then grinding them up and feeding them to untrained planaria to see if they would be able to learn more quickly. The experiment seemed to show such an effect, but it was later determined that the original planaria had left chemical tracks inside the maze itself that were not properly cleaned away before the next set of planaria were run. Memory RNA made some appearances in the Science Fiction of the time, often in the form of "skill pills" containing memory RNA that provided the consumer with new skills, or in the context of Mind Transfer . Larry Niven used this in several of his short stories. |
