Smart behavior of true slime mold in a labyrinthT Nakagaki
Research Institute for Electronic Science, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan
Res Microbiol 152:767-70. 2001..In this report, we discuss information processing in the microorganism to focus on the issue as to whether the maze-solving behavior is akin to primitive intelligence...
Path finding by tube morphogenesis in an amoeboid organismT Nakagaki
Local Spatio Temporal Functions Lab, RIKEN Institute, Hirosawa 2 1, Wako, Saitama 351 0198, Japan
Biophys Chem 92:47-52. 2001..A simple cellular mechanism based on interacting cellular rhythms may describe the experimental observations...
Smart network solutions in an amoeboid organismToshiyuki Nakagaki
Research Institute for Electronic Science, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan
Biophys Chem 107:1-5. 2004..These findings indicate that the plasmodium can achieve a better solution to the problem of network configuration than is provided by the shortest connection of Steiner's minimum tree...
Obtaining multiple separate food sources: behavioural intelligence in the Physarum plasmodiumToshiyuki Nakagaki
Research Institute for Electronic Science, Hokkaido University, Sapporo 060 0812, Japan
Proc Biol Sci 271:2305-10. 2004..When more than three food sources were presented, the network pattern tended to be a patchwork of SMT and CYC. We therefore concluded that the plasmodium tube network is a well designed and intelligent system...
Minimum-risk path finding by an adaptive amoebal networkToshiyuki Nakagaki
Research Institute for Electronic Science, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, 060 0812, Japan
Phys Rev Lett 99:068104. 2007..A model for an adaptive-tube network is presented that is in good agreement with the experimental observations...
Collective movement of epithelial cells on a collagen gel substrateHisashi Haga
Division of Biological Sciences, Graduate School of Science, Hokkaido University, Sapporo 060 0810, Japan
Biophys J 88:2250-6. 2005..In the case of the gel substrate, the spatial correlation length increased gradually, representing the collectiveness of multicellular movement...
A mathematical model for adaptive transport network in path finding by true slime moldAtsushi Tero
Department of Mathematical and Life Sciences, Hiroshima University, Higashi Hiroshima 739 8526, Japan
J Theor Biol 244:553-64. 2007..Our model contains a key parameter corresponding to the extent of the feedback regulation between the thickness of a tube and the flux through it. We demonstrate the dependence of the behavior of the model on this parameter...
Flow-network adaptation in Physarum amoebaeAtsushi Tero
Research Institute for Electronic Science, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, 060 0812, Japan
Theory Biosci 127:89-94. 2008..The proposed algorithm based on Physarum is simple and powerful...
Locomotive mechanism of Physarum plasmodia based on spatiotemporal analysis of protoplasmic streamingKenji Matsumoto

Amoebae anticipate periodic eventsTetsu Saigusa
Graduate School of Engineering, Hokkaido University, N13 W8, Sapporo 060 8628, Japan
Phys Rev Lett 100:018101. 2008..This implied the anticipation of impending environmental change. We explored the mechanisms underlying these types of behavior from a dynamical systems perspective...
Dynamic organization of ATP and birefringent fibrils during free locomotion and galvanotaxis in the plasmodium of Physarum polycephalumT Ueda
Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan
J Cell Biol 110:1097-102. 1990..In short, birefringent fibrils become abundant where ATP concentration decreases. The possible mechanism of the coordination in the directed migration and the implications of the scaling law are discussed...
Rules for biologically inspired adaptive network designAtsushi Tero
Research Institute for Electronic Science, Hokkaido University, Sapporo 060 0812, Japan
Science 327:439-42. 2010..The core mechanisms needed for adaptive network formation can be captured in a biologically inspired mathematical model that may be useful to guide network construction in other domains...
