Mathematical Biology seminar Toshiyuki Nakagaki Research Institute for Electronic Sciences, Hokkaido University Cell behaviors in an large amoeba of true slime mold Novemder 29, 2006 3:05pm in LCB 215 The Physarum plasmodium is a large amoeboid organism. I will talk about some intelligent behaviors exhibited by the plasmodium: networking multiple food locations, learning and memory of periodic environmental changes, demonstrating contemplative behavior when crossing an environmental barrier. Mathematical models for these cell behaviors are presented and discussed.
