Pond snails aid memory research


A topic close to my heart anyway!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/1560388.stm

Dr Yeoman was on South Today last evening and is an enthusiastic speaker - had OH and I in stiches! Evidently, the poor snails "forget where they've left their lettuce".

Today, I have worked that phrase into conversation at least three times!

That was fascinating! I can see that phrase popping up in the Quiz when we can't recall something ...

Angie, you have hidden depths! Snails, memory, cats (not necessarily in that order) - is there anything else you have yet to reveal ?
