New Experimental Approaches to the Inter-Animal Transfer of Acquired Information

  • Chapter
Memory and Transfer of Information

Abstract

Experiments have been performed with chicks, mice and goldfish in order to find a procedure for the preparation of larger amounts of “trained brains”, which will allow a chemical transfer of information from donor animals into naive recipients.
