The RNA from a trained sea snail is transported to an untrained sea snail, the first transfer of mind between the two animals, and an educated response in the snail that is being transported. In this research, rather than creating a smarter snail, it was studied to understand the physical basis of memory. In this way, both the memory loss and the traumas of suffering memories were tried to be erased. Previous research has shown that long-term memory after amnesia can be repaired with an ignition component. Although this ignition component is not yet known, it is thought that progesterone RNA may include epigenetic modifications that are heavily involved. RNA is involved in the formation of long-term memory. Glanzman and his team are investigating the possibility of carrying a long-term memory through a molecule in leadership. To test this hypothesis, a sea snail type Aplysia californica was trained with the help of electric shocks. The researchers subjected a group of snails to 5 shocks at 20-minute intervals. After 24 hours, the researchers repeated the process. After the shocked snails were thrashing in defensive mode for 50 seconds, the untrained snails were defending for only 1 second. In the next stage, RNAs were taken from both trained and untrained snails. The molecules were then distributed to untrained snails in two groups. It's been amazing since then. The trained RNA snail shrugged off the shock for 40 seconds when touched. Untrained RNA-borne snails from the other side did not respond to protection.

"Memory transfer is as difficult as we thought," says Glanzman. At the next stage of the experiment, he removed motor and sensory neurons from untrained snails and placed them individually or as a pair of each neuron type. He then examined the effects by adding RNA to neurons from trained and uneducated snails. Researchers have increased stimulation from sensory neurons that are added to trained snail RNAs. The same effect was seen when snail tails were given electrical smells during training. Furthermore, this effect was not observed in sensory neurons in untreated snail RNA. Memory storage is a widely accepted view of synapses. These constructions carry signals between neurons. But Glanzman believes that memories are originally stored in their neurons, and the experiment shows that this may be the case. "If the memories were stored in synapses, it would not work without experience," he says. Of course, more experiments are needed to confirm the possibility of this idea. This snail type-A. californica is used in abundance in experiments because its neurons are very similar to ours. Of course, animal models can not always adapt to people. "This is really interesting, but I do not think it can be transmitted in this way," says biochemist Tomás Ryan from Trinity College. "Without this work I can see that some of the most basic reactions can be carried out with the help of an animal key, and that Glanzman's mixture perhaps opens this key. If Glanzman is true, this discovery could change the game for memory loss. Glanzman hopes that Alzheimer's and post-traumatic stress disorder will be treated in this way.
