IIRC, Lashley published a paper called "In search of the engram" or
some such. His take was basically that it was foolish to try and pin
down the engram to a specific site in the brain, based on lesion data
in the rat where no matter which bit of cortex he ablated, the animals
would eventually learn some tasks somehow.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong!
