Are Slime Moulds Living Memristors

Year: 2013

Type: preprint

Abstract: In laboratory experiments we demonstrate that protoplasmic tubes of acellular slime mould Physarum polycephalum show current versus voltage profiles consistent with memristive systems. This result complements previous findings on memristive properties of other living systems (human skin and blood and leaves) and contributes to development of self-growing bio- electronic circuits. Keywords: memristor, slime mould, bioelectronics
