Abstract Development of increasingly complex integrated cellular systems will be a major
challenge for the next decade and beyond, as we apply the knowledge gained from the sub …

The study of collective behaviour aims to understand how individual-level behaviours can
lead to complex group-level patterns. Collective behaviour has primarily been studied in …

We describe here a mathematical model of the adaptive dynamics of a transport network of
the true slime mold Physarum polycephalum, an amoeboid organism that exhibits path …

When plasmodia of the true slime mold Physarum were exposed to unfavorable conditions
presented as three consecutive pulses at constant intervals, they reduced their locomotive …

We have proposed a mathematical model for the adaptive dynamics of the transport network
in an amoeba-like organism, the true slime mold Physarum polycephalum. The model is …

This review motivates and synthesizes research efforts in neuroscience-inspired artificial
intelligence and biomimetic computing in terms of mortal computation. Specifically, we …

When two food sources are presented to the slime mold Physarum in the dark, a thick tube
for absorbing nutrients is formed that connects the food sources through the shortest route …

We propose that fungi Basidiomycetes can be used as computing devices: information is
represented by spikes of electrical activity, a computation is implemented in a mycelium …

Continuing the journey begun in his acclaimed book The Cosmic Serpent, the noted
anthropologist ventures firsthand into both traditional cultures and the most up-todate …

Speed–accuracy trade-offs (SATs) are thought to be a fundamental feature of biological
information processing, yet most evidence of SATs comes from animals. Here, we examine …
