Chemotaxis of a population of Dictyostelium

protists are quite intelligent.
I have this theory thats supported by some research (although non was done to disprove it)
that neurons are capble of higher levels of information proceccing between the axon hillock and the dendrite than summing depolarization and maintaining their structure / connections.

they can probably finetune actionpotentials and have some form of memory in the soma.

Hey

When the cells have ran out of food, they begin to link up like this in search of food. Irf they find it, than they go back to being individuals again

actually after they find food they move in the slug state to a suitable climate (damp and warm) and morph again into a mushroom shaped organism before releasing spores which then become amoeba and then repeat the cycle seen above. Once they have aggregated they're no longer separable.

Thanks for clarifyong

yeah :D

w00t partay~~~~@!!

the cake is a lie.

Only if mr.hansen is involved.

Question for poster, what microscopy is this?

i know you asked this question a long time ago and you probably don't care anymore but it's phase contrast microscopy.

People reply to posts I made two years ago, usually to complain

This is welcome :3
