Abstract
AN important problem in studying the physiological basis of memory is to determine its location. Protozoa offer the obvious advantage of confining the site(s) to a volume no more than 1 mm3. If nuclei and cytoplasm are removed from them before behavioural testing, the search for any memory trace is further limited.
