Slime mould solves maze in one pass ... assisted by gradient of chemo-attractants
, 2011 Plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum is a large cell, visible by unaided eye, which exhibits sophisticated patterns of foraging behaviour. The plasmodium's behaviour is well interpreted in terms of computation, where data are spatially extended ...

Continual decision‐making dynamics across biological organisms
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1059-1072, June 2026.ABSTRACT Decision‐making is a central function of adaptive behaviour in biological agents. However, strategies for adaptive decision‐making can vary substantially across species. Here, we aim to extend the comparative scope of decision‐making analyses to phylogenetically diverse organisms.

The structure of nucleolar chromatin in Physarum polycephalum
Nucleic Acids Research, 1978 The nucleolar DNA of Physarum polycephalum has been differentially labelled with 3H-thymidine and the structure of the nucleolar chromatin investigated by digestion with micrococcal nuclease. Nucleolar chromatin which had been labelled in G2 phase of the cell cycle and then digested before mitosis had an identical DNA repeat length to main band DNA ...

A Biophysical Approach to the Design of Networks of Communication Systems
Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 4539-4547, 30 March 2026.ABSTRACT Inspired by the growth dynamics of the protist Physarum polycephalum, we employ a formalism that describes adaptive, incompressible Hagen‐Poiseuille flows on channel networks to identify graphs connecting different nodes within Euclidean space. These graphs are either suboptimal or optimal relative to their length.

A Novel -Inspired Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks
International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, 2013 There is a tradeoff between routing efficiency and energy equilibrium for sensor nodes in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Inspired by the large and single-celled amoeboid organism, slime mold Physarum polycephalum , this paper presents a novel Physarum -

Physarum-Inspired Bicycle Lane Network Design in a Congested Megacity
Applied Sciences, 2021 Improvement of mobility, especially environment-friendly green mobility, is challenging in existing megacities due to road network complexity and space constraints. Endorsing the bicycle lane network (BLN) in congested megacities is a promising option to

Fast and Slow Signal Propagation in Abiotic Polypeptide Assemblies
ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 6, 27 March 2026.Proteinoid microspheres formed by thermal polymerization of amino acids exhibit spontaneous electrical potential fluctuations without genetic material, membranes, or ion channels. Multi‐electrode recordings and electron microscopy reveal composition‐dependent voltage oscillations, long‐term drifts, and correlated signals across electrodes.

Isolation of Nuclei from Physarum flavicomum: Demonstration of Nuclear Cyclic Acid AMP Phosphodiesterase [PDF]
, 1986 Cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity in the nucleus of the myxomycete Physarum flavicomum was demonstrated by cytochemical staining utilizing electron microscopy and by enzymatic assays with tritiated cyclic AMP as the substrate.
