Que upload de memórias, que nada

Mas que doideira essa história de pesquisa sobre “comer memórias“:

The worm runners took two groups of worms, one that had been shock-trained and one that hadn’t, and chopped them up. Then, they fed these wormshakes to naive, untrained worms (planaria are, conveniently, cannibals). Would the worms that ate the “trained” food learn from it? When McConnell began to shock-train the new set of worms, he observed a surprising fact: the group that ate trained worms learned to scrunch much faster than the one fed untrained worms—it seemed that the memory was indeed edible.

Alguém bem podia fazer um livro no estilo “A Short History of Nearly Everything“, reunindo apenas capítulos esquecidos da ciência como esse.
