Hey let's catch up on some space brain news:

- A start-up company says it will one day be able to scan people's brains to preserve their memories, although the process will be "100% fatal"

- Scientists kept decapitated pig brains alive for up to 36 hours

- Scientists claim to have transferred memory of painful conditioning from one group of snails to another by injecting nervous system RNA from conditioned snails into snails that hadn't undergone the conditioning: afterward, the injected snails responded to the conditioning stimuli as if they had already been conditioned; the scientists say this debunks the long-held idea that memories are stored at the synapses.
