Memory Soup
(mander.xyz)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Yes, a paper that they retain "memories". I didn't doubt that. I doubted the "turns completely into goo and then solidifies as butterfly" part. And from what I can tell after skimming the introduction of the paper this is only covering the behavioural aspect.
It's a good question! :) Just put the paper here just in case.
Goo is somewhat metaphorical, but most internal organs get completely disassembled and reassembled in new forms. Neural tissue just changes the least.
Yeah, but again, this says "turns completely into goo" and thats not at all what you are describing either. Its just over-sensationalising an already impressive process. But I can see I am alone with that opinion, so whatever. Total goo it is.
