Memories Can Be Injected and Survive Amputation and Metamorphosis

ByRichard Nissen 6 July 20206 July 2020 Reading Time: 1 minute

There has always been huge uncertainty as to how migrating animals learn where to go. The cuckoo is a perfect example, as the newly hatched birds must travel from Europe to The Congo Basin for the winter, but how do they know the way (as their parents departed sometime before and they travel on their own)? The route is not a straight one and they must stop as various places on the way to “refuel” (eat hairy caterpillars) in order to be able to cross the Sahara.

Here is an explanation:

Human Navigation some ideas October 2017

Humans, who are after all sophisticated animals have a very highly developed frontal cortex. This does our intellectual thinking. The right side is usually dominant. It also tends to be where humans view their world. Almost no humans feel and respond to the sub conscious. We have the concept of conscious frontal cortex operation and…

Animal Navigation a new theory for 2025

How animals navigate has been a mystery forever. At present, the prevailing theory is that animal navigation is based on magnetic information. But there are huge problems with this approach. In order to use the Earth’s magnetic field to navigate by, you need to know where you are and where you are going, as well…

Dr Kate Jeffery’s paper 0ct 2017

Dr Kate Jeffery is one of our heroes and has a lab at University College London where she experiments with what the brain is doing when rats navigate around a maze. In her experimental rig, she can see neurons fire up as the rat faces in different directions (head direction cells) while it is exploring….

The Science Delusion by Rupert Sheldrake

In this book he dedicates two chapters to this subject: “Are memories stored as material traces?” and “Are minds confined to brains?” The prevailing idea is that all our memories are stored in our heads. However, there are a lot of problems with this as it does not match the facts very well. The biggest …

Animal navigation based on Gravity

Here are the points to be added that I anticipated or predicted that they should happen as proof or implied consequences of my animal navigation model. The posting in the website is Introduction to my Ideas from Sept 2013 – “Gravity and Gyro effects are the basis of animal navigation, by Antonio Nafarrate“. Appendix. 1) From a paper by…

Head direction cells in a migratory bird prefer north

Animals exhibit remarkable navigation abilities as if they have an internal compass. Head direction (HD) cells encoding the animal’s heading azimuth are found in the brain of several animal species; the HD cell signals are dependent on the vestibular nuclei, where magnetic responsive cells are present in birds. However, it is difficult to determine whether…
