That is beside the point. You can cut up a planarian into bits. They have it on record on how much it can be cut up and yet grow back to a full planarian.
Supposedly Levins experiment has an altogether different conclusion. In that you can train a planarian. What train means with regards to a planarian is not quite clear to me. But itÂ’s something along the lines of exposing it to certain external stimuli that makes it act a certain way.
But then you chop its head off. It doesnÂ’t merely grow back but it grows back still acting as itÂ’s trained. We shouldnÂ’t be glossing over this but trying to understand it. This question is why Bernardo is interested and what levin canÂ’t answer
