In planaria experiments, Michael Levin's team trained flatworms to navigate a maze, then decapitated them and removed their entire nervous system. After two weeks, the regenerated head with a completely new nervous system remembered the maze navigation, proving memory is not encoded in the nervous system.

“they trained the plenaria to navigate that labyrinth so to say that maze to find food and the plenaria learned it so they could find food very quickly...they proceeded to decapitate the plenaria...waited two weeks until the plenaria grew a new head with a new nervous system clean from scratch...And lo and behold, the palenaria remembered.”
