Are Slime Moulds Living Memristors?
In laboratory experiments we demonstrate that protoplasmic tubes of acellular slime mould Physarum polycephalum show current versus voltage profiles consistent with memristive systems. This result complements previous findings on memristive properties of other living systems (human skin and blood and leaves) and contributes to development of self-growing bioelectronic circuits.
متن کاملHabituation in non-neural organisms: evidence from slime moulds.
Learning, defined as a change in behaviour evoked by experience, has hitherto been investigated almost exclusively in multicellular neural organisms. Evidence for learning in non-neural multicellular organisms is scant, and only a few unequivocal reports of learning have been described in single-celled organisms. Here we demonstrate habituation, an unmistakable form of learning, in the non-neur...
متن کاملAlgorithmic requirements for swarm intelligence in differently coupled collective systems
Swarm systems are based on intermediate connectivity between individuals and dynamic neighborhoods. In natural swarms self-organizing principles bring their agents to that favorable level of connectivity. They serve as interesting sources of inspiration for control algorithms in swarm robotics on the one hand, and in modular robotics on the other hand. In this paper we demonstrate and compare a...
متن کاملChemoattractant-mediated changes in cytoskeletal actin of cellular slime moulds.
We report changes in actin associated with the Triton-insoluble cytoskeleton following chemotactic stimulation in five species of cellular slime mould, Dictyostelium discoideum, D. mucoroides, D. purpureum, D. lacteum and Polysphondylium violaceum. Stimulation of amoebae with the chemoattractant specific for each species elicits a rapid increase in cytoskeletal actin content with a peak at 5 s,...
متن کاملThe Application of Swarm Intelligence to Collective Robots
This chapter considers the application of swarm intelligence principles to collective robotics. Our aim is to identify the reasons for the growing interest in the intersection of these two areas, and to evaluate the progress that has been made to date. In the course of this chapter, we will discuss the implications of taking a swarm intelligent approach, and review recent research and applicati...
