In terms of the rat hemispheres experiment, in order to understand why they still remembered the tricks all you really need is an understanding of how RAID redundancies work for things like web servers.
Web servers have multiple hard drives that work in unison. All of the data is on both drives. If one drive dies or is removed completely, no data is lost because there's an exact copy on the twinned drive (or however many other drives are in the array). So why could the rats remember no matter which half of the brain was removed? "Where" is the memory stored? Answer is simple enough: there's probably a copy of the memory on each hemisphere. |

One thing that IS fascinating in terms of "past lives" though and something that we still know very, very little about is genetic memory which is quite fascinating really. Nothing is born a blank slate; even humans (pretty useless at birth), we still reflexively know how to breathe, swallow, seek out a nipple... even swim.
You can see it VERY clearly in other animals - many mammals can walk from birth, monkeys know how to cling to their parent. Spiders "know" how to construct extremely intricate webs, no practice required. So there ARE elements of memory that are coded directly into genetic code before there's any physical structure at all to hold them, there's no question about that. How it works? Still mostly an unknown. IN THEORY could living memories be inherited from an ancestor? Who knows. It wouldn't be reincarnation of course, the memories wouldn't be from someone you "were" after they died, they'd be a copy of who they were at the point of passing on their DNA, if such things are possible at all. That I suppose would be indistinguishable from actually "being that person in another life". You might just be borrowing a snippet of a great-great-great-grandparents memory. |

We have a granddaughter who’s just six years old and has been adamant for the last 3 years that she was born and lived in Ireland when she was younger ( she hasn’t of course )

Pardon my ignorance but are you actually Toy Soldier 2.0 and if so, what happened to your original account?

Yep half Italian / Irish father but he ‘identifies’ as Italian as do all his family .. the Irish aspect is rarely mentioned .. Strange … as she will see something like a landscape on telly and say ‘that reminds me of when I lived in Ireland … or eat something and say a similar thing .. I should reiterate that I don’t believe any kind of hocus pocus .. UFOs or conspiracy theories .. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Last edited by Zizu; 05-12-2022 at 10:33 PM. |

The brain is something i've had to learn a lot more about over the last year and we are literally scratching the surface in terms of understanding how it operates.
The thing is, if you have a false memory, you have no method of distinguishing it from any other memory that you have, its just a memory that happens to be wrong. False memories can be triggered by a variety of things and you would never know that you had it because you 100% believe it happened. It's true that our brains have a certain capacity for checks and balances so that we can deduce by logic that something may not be correct, but we can never know for sure |

Development evolving:The origins and meanings of instinct
Every complex behavior challenges us to identify its origins. How do birds know to migrate south for the winter? How do border collies know to herd sheep? How do sea turtles find their way back home to the beach on which they hatched? for example: Gilbert Gottlieb spent much of his career investigating another form of imprinting— auditory imprinting—in which newly hatched chicks and ducklings are attracted to the mother's call8. Because the behavior of hatchlings seemed to be expressed without any obvious experience with the mother or her call, this adaptive behavior was thought to be an instinct. However, Gottlieb pursued this question in a way that no one else had before him by asking whether embryos obtain critical experiences while still in the egg. Amazingly, he found that they do: Embryos vocalize from within the egg, and these vocalizations shape the development of the auditory system in a way that is critical for their post-hatching attraction to the mother's call. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/art...ces7%E2%80%939. |

There are also tens of millions of years of evolution to take into account, so even a function like hiccups is believed to be from a time when our ancestors had gills.The answers will be found in biology, not metaphysics.

Last night I watched My dead body.on channel 4.
It was a lot to take in and it made me think about life in general. The brain really is so complex, we still don't know everything about it.
