    My question is, how do they know what a snail is thinking or remembers? Last I knew snails didn’t talk.

      Probably something like the snail learned to find food in a certain place, then they were able to make it forget such that it would search randomly instead of going to the place it had learned.

        Lol, I can see it now.

        “Im going to sit here for 8-12 hours and watch where this snail goes today.”

        Sorry couldn’t resist.

      I read a study once about caterpillars getting shocked in their cages to teach them which areas are electrified. They retained this memory aversion after turning into butterflies. Probably something similar, basic behavioral observations to stimuli.
