Something interesting I read

In the (fictional) book I'm reading a highschool student is doing an experiment in Science class.  There are 2 terrariums of flatworms.  1 terrarium is taught to assocaite a beam of light (from a flashlight) with being fed (a la Pavlov's dog).  The 2nd terrarium is just fed normally.  After the first terrarium is trainined fully the worms from that terrarium are ground up and fed to the 2nd terrarium and all the sudden the worms in the second terrarium associate a beam of light with being fed. 

Obviously this is a fictional book but I googled quickly and found a few pages that said this indeed happens, most cited flatworms knowing how to solve a maze after being fed other flatworms that knew the solution.

my read shelf:
B's book recommendations, liked quotes, book clubs, book trivia, book lists (read shelf)
