Snails... on crystal meth

Within every scientist is the childlike desire to do strange, dangerous, and/or crazy things and observe the result. That said, I'll let this article speak for itself:

In a development whose importance it would be difficult to exaggerate, scientists have produced research answering one of the great questions facing humanity in the 21st century: what happens if you get snails hopped up on crystal meth and poke them with sticks?

The drug-pushing scientists in question are Barbara Sorg of Washington State Uni and Ken Lukowiak of the University of Calgary. The mollusc they chose for their experiments was the pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis.

You can find these scientists' dramatic conclusions here (spoiler: apparently, memories formed under the influence of meth are harder to forget).
