Planarian

regenerate neurons are still a distant goal. However, by studying animals like Dugesia dorotocephala, also known as the Black planarian, researchers can observe the natural abilities of these…

regenerate cells in planarian. Even prior to birth, from humans down to microscopic bacteria, there are a number of genes that dictate the nearly twenty-four-hour rhythm that develops a process which controls one’s physiology, behavior, and even gene expression, this process is known as the organism’s circadian rhythm (2). Of the many organisms that contain these circadian genes, the one organism that coordinates their rhythm in an interesting manner is the freshwater planarian (Schmidtea…

Charts were created from a cumulated pool of planarian research. Dead and missing planaria were not included in the data pool. Discussion: After undergoing the regeneration process Planaria had varying responses. This study concluded that the majority of planaria retain the learning process after regeneration, this statement is especially relevant in the head regenerated planaria. Before the experiment, a hypothesis was made that the head end would retain the classical conditioning and the tail…

cavity (before the mouth) then the planarian will regenerate its head faster than regenerating a whole body. As the experiment progressed the results were quite interesting. To begin, the initial day looked as if my flatworm was dead since it had its head dismembered…

experiment was conducted involving planarian worms and their method of using regeneration to regrow parts of their bodies when severed and separated from the other half. In order to conduct this experiment, a small planarian worm was obtained from a glass of spring water using a pipette, and then placed into a petri dish filled with enough spring water to keep the worm alive (But not enough that could allow the worms to escape). Then, using a razor blade, the planarian worm was cut in half to…

Introduction Planaria are a type of flatworms that possess a mammalian nervous system and the ability to regenerate skin cells. The flatworms are used in a variety of experiments, which include chemical responses and experiments upon the regeneration process. When combined with addictive drugs and chemicals, such as cocaine and ethanol, the planaria display paroxysms, motor effects, and c shaped movements (Tallarida et al 2014). The planaria demonstrate their applicability of their systems in…

regenerating tissues is to limit damage and loss of infection. The processes of tissue regeneration include inflammation, wound repair, and remodeling. However, regenerating limbs is a more complex process that involves creating new cells. Flatworms Planarians have the ability to regenerate into a complete animal from tiny fragments of their body in…

both plants and other animals are; humans, pigs, bears, and crows. Depending on what their diet and structure is, animals will have a different digestive system. Invertebrate’s digestive system are bags or tubes. For example, flatworms such as planarians, contain only one opening that serves for both…

Transhumanist Memory Uploading Through the Lens of McConnell’s Experiments Introduction: In the 1950s, American biologist and psychologist James McConnell conducted an experiment to explore how flatworms were able to receive memory through planarian cannibalism. In this experiment, he first trained a group of flatworms to learn and move around the maze while measuring the time they took. Then, he chopped the flatworms into pieces and fed them to another group of flatworms, which were able to…

“Human cloning is coming,” as Mike Pence once said. Cloning is a technological advancement that is making its way toward our era. It has already been established in 1997 through Dolly the sheep, the first cloned living organism by taking a cell and infusing it with electricity to create an exact replica. After this significant scientific breakthrough, the big question asked now is how much farther can we take cloning to another matter like even human cloning? Human cloning is one majorily entire…
