Biocomputation and Nonlinear Dynamics in the Primitive Sensorimotor Mechanism of Euglena Gracilis

摘要

A new model of microtubule dynamics has recently been developed capable of accunting for most of the phenomena associated with cell motility (Insinna et al., 1996). Additionally, its heuristic capabilities contribute to shed a new light not only on the phototactic behavior of the Protozoan Euglean gracilis but also on the putative existence of intraneural networks composed of microtubule arrays.
