What once was thought to be a Science fiction is now fact which means mind uploading is just around the corner 🤔.
Back in 2018, scientists achieved something that still sounds unbelievable today: they “transplanted” memories from one snail into another. It was a fascinating study in its own right, but it’s also part of a much bigger story: the long-running human quest to understand precisely what memory is and how it works.
How the study worked
The snails in question were not your common-or-garden shelled specimens. These were large marine gastropods in the genus Aplysia, specifically a species called the California sea hare – but we promise they are mollusks and not big-eared hopping mammals.
