Üner Tan Syndrome: Review and Emergence of Human Quadrupedalism in Self-Organization,\ud Attractors and Evolutionary Perspectives\ud [PDF]
, 2012 The first man reported in the world literature exhibiting habitual quadrupedal locomotion was discovered by a British traveler and writer on the famous Baghdat road near Havsa/Samsun on the middle Black-Sea coast of Turkey (Childs, 1917).

A novel plasticity rule can explain the development of sensorimotor intelligence
, 2015 Grounding autonomous behavior in the nervous system is a fundamental challenge for neuroscience. In particular, the self-organized behavioral development provides more questions than answers.

The long-time dynamics of two hydrodynamically-coupled swimming cells [PDF]
, 2009 Swimming micro-organisms such as bacteria or spermatozoa are typically found in dense suspensions, and exhibit collective modes of locomotion qualitatively different from that displayed by isolated cells.

The implications of embodiment for behavior and cognition: animal and robotic case studies
, 2011 In this paper, we will argue that if we want to understand the function of the brain (or the control in the case of robots), we must understand how the brain is embedded into the physical system, and how the organism interacts with the real world.

Shape of optimal active flagella
, 2013 Many eukaryotic cells use the active waving motion of flexible flagella to self-propel in viscous fluids. However, the criteria governing the selection of particular flagellar waveforms among all possible shapes has proved elusive so far. To address this

F‐actin assembly in Dictyostelium cell locomotion and shape oscillations propagates as a self‐organized reaction–diffusion wave [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2001 The crawling locomotion and shape of eukaryotic cells have been associated with the stochastic molecular dynamics of actin and its protein regulators, chiefly Arp2/3 and Rho family GTPases, in making a cytoskeleton meshwork within cell extensions. However, the cell's actin‐dependent oscillatory shape and extension dynamics may also yield insights into ...
