Slime mold form a map of the Tokyo-area railway system
When the researchers place food at cities on the map, the fungus collaborates, spreading out to map many possible configurations and then dying away to highlight the shortest routes between cities and the most efficient overall system map.

The slime is a better civil engineer and urban planner the the actual people who made the subway
nice, maybe a new way to architect
Maybe it is the most efficient map and therefore the slime mold sees it as the most efficient and keeps only those paths.. man biology is so damn cool!!!
I thought straight lines is the most efficient.

"Atsushi Tero of Hokkaido University grew Physarum in a flat wet dish, placing the mold in a central position representing Tokyo and oat flakes surrounding it corresponding to the locations of other major cities in the Greater Tokyo Area. As Physarum avoids bright light, light was used to simulate mountains, water and other obstacles in the dish. The mold first densely filled the space with plasmodia, and then thinned the network to focus on efficiently connected branches. The network strikingly resembled Tokyo's rail system"

slime mold such as P. Polycephalum can also be classified under the Kingdom Ameobazoa as proposed by The New Higher Level Classification of Eukaryotes with Emphasis on the Taxonomy of Protists (J. Eukaryot. Microbiol., 52(5), 2005 pp. 399-451)
Assumptions: every point has equal value? excludes the value of other transport like air? Peak / off peak times? (maybe can be changed by factor like x2 for peak) what else?

Why does the mold strengthen pathways for sending nutrients back to the "core". Does fungus have a centralized stomach the nutrients need to reach?
@Staymare
6 жыл бұрын
I'm no expert, but I'd imagine the nutrients can be digested throughout the body, it's just sending some nutrients back to the center so that it can begin reproducing. Whether it's a seed or a spore, it'd probably need a fair amount of energy to develop the beginnings of it's offspring.
@RobsRobotChannel

It makes no sense to me, because it said in the video that every fungus cell was self-sufficient, identical to the neighboring cell. So then why would there be a need to cooperate in the storage or processing of food, like ants do? Ants have a queen and they have larvae, but why would a fungus have a special mass, does it have a stomach?
@kylehenline3245
6 жыл бұрын
The central mass isn't really special, it's just larger because that is where the spores where first inoculated. When slime mold goes looking for food all the individual cells actually merge together. The whole tendril network is just cytoplasm with a bunch of nuclei floating in it with no cell membranes dividing them. The cytoplasm is pretty much flowing around through the whole network to distribute nutrients. I guess the advantage is slime mold in this plasmoid state actually moves the fastest of any micro-organism we know of, and the end goal is to distribute energy to as many nuclii as possible for the fruiting stage. When the food runs out the nuclii reform into individual cells and become fruiting bodies to release spores to re-produce. IDK it's all very weird, But at this stage in the life cycle it can really be thought of as a single organism for all intents and purposes.

Not plants, animals or fungii, slime molds, next to man, are one of the strangest creatures in nature. See KZread video "Slime molds and other strange creatures, Simplified".
Impressive
Curious, what were the results of the consecutive experiments, did the map look the same?
collective distributed decision making is a kind of intelligence.
I'd like to see it happen multiple times to see if the fungus creates a consistent formation...if so then it proves its not random, but logic.

it would because it runs on chemotaxis... also yes we do this in class its the same way every time with the exception of small curves here and there but the routes are the same. chemotaxis is just the cells ability to detect a food through chemicals and move toward or away ( if its bad chemicals that may harm or kill it) its not intelligent is just receptors that cause and action. free of thought.

There's many other instances of mazes being used. The slime mold completely avoids the dead ends, and finds the shortest route to the food.

This annoys me so much. The mold is randomly growing in all directions then dying off where its not getting nutrients. Nothing even remotely resembling intelligence

except this is not a fungi its a protist... lol fungi like but still a protist. and it is not conscious or intelligent. its runs off chemo taxis. so it moves to concentrated chemicals of nutrition. where it can not get to a food source fast enough it dies out and where it can get to a food source faster it grows bigger because of chemo taxis a basic function of any protist the only difference is that it can spread out as it stays in one spot.

And?
The subway system might not have been able to make the most efficient journies due to planning permission. The mould could possibly send back low-level electric or chemical signals through all routes taken to the last food source. The ones that make it through in the most energy efficient way would have the strongest signal, which are the only ones reinforced.

Am I the only one who does not understand how it helped? They might have already have a map and just wanted to connect the points, and where is the start and the ends?

Two thoughts. One is that we definitely do not live in a mechanistic Universe. Sorry to all of the reductionists out there, but we do not so deal with it. The other is that we might be dealing with an alien intelligence---right here on Earth! Further testing is required to test that hypothesis. Hey Harvard, have you tried actual communication?
