Slime mould has no brain, no neurons and no central control, yet when scientists placed food at 36 locations matching cities around Tokyo, it grew a network strikingly similar to the rail system — with comparable efficiency, cost and resilience
5+ day, 1+ hour ago (462+ words) A single-celled organism with no brain solved a transportation puzzle that took human engineers decades to perfect. Published September 9, 2026 · How we edit A brainless yellow blob spread across a wet plate in a Japanese lab and, meaning nothing by it,…...
‘This is dangerous’: slime moulds and the bitter debate over the nature of intelligence
6+ day, 2+ hour ago (181+ words) Scientists are battling over whether supposedly simple organisms should be considered ‘intelligent’. The outcome could reshape our understanding of the natural world – and our own place within it Perhaps they were right to be so torn, Lyon told me. Human…...
Eight of ten blue-throated macaws slid a feeder door upward after watching another macaw do it, and not one of the five tested without a demonstrator went that way on its own, though the researchers say the species is too rare for them to prove it was imitation
1+ week, 3+ day ago (439+ words) The result held on one device and did not reach significance on the other, and the paper's own summaries carry that result further than its statistics do. By Science Blog Editorial Team Published September 4, 2026 · How we edit Five blue-throated macaws…...
Scientific Frontline: Neurobiology: Mouse and Primate Vision Rules
1+ week, 6+ day ago (462+ words) The Core Concept: When an animal moves, its visual system adjusts its neuronal activity to process the changing environmental input, but this adjustment operates on the same mathematical evolutionary principles across both mice and primates despite differing sensory outputs. Key…...
Worms navigate narrow paths faster than wide ones – these findings could inform robot design
1+ week, 6+ day ago (1025+ words) You might naturally expect a wide, open path to be faster and easier to navigate than a narrow one, just as birds fly freely through the open sky, cars move quickly on empty roads, and a wide hallway seems easier…...
