I may (*may*) be able to do some of these experiments.  I am currently 
working in a leech neurobiology lab.  Leeches have demonstrated both 
associative and nonassociative learning; the experiment should be fairly 
straightforward and should only take a few days.

Can someone send me a protocol (cryoprotectants, etc.) similar to what is 
used on human cryopreservations?  Of course leech biology is different 
and the protocol may need modification -- I welcome any advice (my 
background is cogsci/math, not biology).
