Thus, the planarian system may offer the unique opportunity to study brain regeneration and memory in the same animal.

We further show that trained, decapitated planarians exhibit evidence of memory retrieval in a savings paradigm after regenerating a new head.

We propose planarians as key emerging model species for mechanistic investigations of the encoding of specific memories in biological tissues.

To establish a system for the investigation of the dynamics of memory in a regenerating brain, we developed a computerized training and testing paradigm that avoided the many issues that confounded previous, manual attempts to train planarians.
