Yes this is Mike Levin from Tufts! A genius, and really nice guy too.
I wonder if the manipulated worm with two tails had a brain anywhere. . . and if it didn't would it cease to function and die.
And from what I understand from the reading, the experiment of the voltage changes is caused by chemicals. I'm not too sure but I think that chemicals spread and disperse from where it was inserted, so I was wondering if they can target the chemicals in a certain portion of an organism (which would be really good for medical benefits).
