Title: Coordination Without a Nervous System: A Mechanochemical Model of Physarum polycephalum

Abstract: The slime mold Physarum polycephalum is a single giant cell with no nervous system, yet it migrates toward food, builds efficient transport networks, and balances exploration against exploitation. How does such a cell encode, transmit, and integrate information about its environment? We present a proposal in which calcium oscillations, whose strength is tuned locally by the environment, and...
