Can we study learning and memory using snails? How do we recognise the smell of banana or Gulab Jamun or any other food is it a memory? Can we study memory through the sense of smell?
Why did I read can you choose sea slug How is memory formed? and how is memory retained? What is associated memory?
If I learn to play guitar (my mother‘s favourite tone). And if for some reason I did not continue to play guitar for say 4 to 5 years even after five years I get guitar I might not remember the actual lesson taught by the tutor I could remember some of the lessons at least in bits and pieces specially the tone that was associated with my mother.
Why did Eric Kandel Choose sea slug Because it has less number of neurons:flushed: How many neurons do human have? How many neurons does a sea slug have Do we understand billions??
The size of the neurons is bigger in sea slug as compare to human Human neuron (cell body)diameter- 100 micrometer Sea slug neuron diameter- 1000micrometer that is 1 millimetre That is it is visible to the naked eye why did Eric kandel look for an organism having larger neuron?
Can learning and memory be studied by a dog? Why did Eric Kandel went looking for sea slug and not dog? If we were to design an experiment to study learning and memory and dog!
