I think this was proposed back in the 60s with flatworms. There are some recent experiments, again with flatworms, where they studied this. Flatworms can regenerate heads. So they trained a flatworm to avoid a certain type of light and cut the head off and allowed the tail to regenerate back a new head. I think they claimed that the newly regenerated animal exhibit the same behavior.

>>I think they claimed that the newly regenerated animal exhibit the same behavior. As directly referenced in the article, flatworm experimenters (James McConnell in the 50's and 60's, and Michael Levin in 2015[1]) definitely claimed regenerated flatworms exhibited the same behaviour.
