Journal ArticleDOI
Maze-solving by an amoeboid organism
TL;DR: It is shown that this simple organism has the ability to find the minimum-length solution between two points in a labyrinth.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is shown that the slime mold Physarum polycephalum forms networks with comparable efficiency, fault tolerance, and cost to those of real-world infrastructure networks—in this case, the Tokyo rail system.
Journal ArticleDOI
A mathematical model for adaptive transport network in path finding by true slime mold.
TL;DR: A mathematical model of the adaptive dynamics of a transport network of the true slime mold Physarum polycephalum, an amoeboid organism that exhibits path-finding behavior in a maze, which contains a key parameter corresponding to the extent of the feedback regulation between the thickness of a tube and the flux through it.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amoebae anticipate periodic events.
TL;DR: The mechanisms underlying these types of behavior from a dynamical systems perspective were explored, finding that when plasmodia of the true slime mold Physarum were exposed to unfavorable conditions, they reduced their locomotive speed in response to each episode.
Journal ArticleDOI
Path finding by tube morphogenesis in an amoeboid organism
TL;DR: This work has studied how the plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum, a large amoeboid cell, is able to track the shortest path between two selected points in a labyrinth through a simple cellular mechanism based on interacting cellular rhythms.
