I had no idea that slime molds could learn... single celled organisms with memory and "personality." That's the most amazing idea I've heard of in biology.

Thanks for another great one. Some fascinating work and who knows where this knowledge will take us. And wherever it does take us, it will have bun a fun ride. Thanks!

I think it is interesting that she found a habituated and naive slime mould could fuse and now both have the idea that going through caffeine can get them to nutritious food.

Thank You biologist Audrey Dussutour for showing us that >>> Slime Mould are more smarter than humans in solving certain Society~Economic problem surrounding them by working together! We know Slime Mould are intelligent to use the colour Yellow to warn others not to eat them & their abilities to communicate with other Slime Mould via telecommunication & Slime Mould can escape to find food! 🕯🌎

Hi, can anyone help me in isolating this slime molds from soil sample What substrate should be given and how exactly the conditions should be maintained.

I've been looking into a pet slime after awhile of learning new things about them... Curious what answers you've got... Tropical places with epiphytes up in the trees... The dead parts of the epiphytes that aren't fallen to the ground yet still attached to the plant that is attached to the tree (epiphytes,) they are supposed to be great to put in a environment that's kinda moist and grow slimes with, dead or dying tree branches with lots of lichens growing on them... The outside "bark" part with all the lichens and tiny things growing on it the sticks with the lichens and such are said to have more of the myxies than a branch without... So lichen covered bark tiny pieces on agar or in an extra moist place is great for certain slimes,.. leaf litter in tropical places... Not the brownest but the stuff that's still kinda green with lots of speckles of stuff growing on them... They have names that start with the same thing epiphytes starts with but different... Those have lots of myxies compared to brown or bright green leaves. Attached dead leaves are best not dead leaves on the ground... Also heard that. I've seen them growing on agar in petri dishes but also see them on paper towels that are moistened... Of course there's also underwater slimes. I am trying to get a pet slime mold somehow... Your comment was a month old but maybe if you got your answers already you can teach me and others something and my comment may help someone else in the future also. Wish me luck getting a pet slime mold somehow without having to buy some classroom kit 😒 have a great one! 🕷️

After I saw that some microorganisms can react to light under the microscope and purposeful search for food, to me it was pretty obvious that intelligence wasn't pure neurological but was an intrinsic property of the matter under a certain degree o organization, it's the computational version of panpsychism if you will.

It is both a collective and an emergence of self awareness form the the structure of the neurons that are stimulated by biofeedback mechanisms in our environment and also from eons of evolutionary learning.

In experiments where a variety of foods are provided to the subject, the slime molds are more efficient finding the most nutritious food items.

Could we build a human brain with this train the slime molds each part off the brains functions independently for long periods and have them independently controlled a robot with one function (arm,leg,sight,ect…) through the use off positive reinforcement for the correct responses to stimulus as the blob would be activating a tiny switch causing the movement. say the hand making the arm move in order to gain the greatest source off nutrition now if we trained a separate mold to do vision it would be trained the same way Colours would be placed Infront off it each with equal nutrition the blob would than be placed in a room with a colour on a screen infront off with the colours Infront the blob would than have to chose the corresponding colour in order to get an extra reward depth would be trained by moving objects at a sensor that the slime mold is feeding on and continuesly move an item at a fast speed towards it if the slime mold sets off the correct switch in time it won’t get shocked if it doesn’t and the item hits a bell it gets shocked the multiple trained molds are than placed together in a corps with the sensors being placed everywhere they would be normally on a human under the skin the slime mold would start in the brain cavity work it’s way down the spine and spread to all the different sensors in the fingers and things the only replacement being the eyes for now they would be sensors the blob would than in theory wire the body in the most efficient way possible and possibly be able to animate and move the corpse

@@SuperluminalGus I think consciousness means perceiving that there is a choice to be made between food A and food B (i.e. having a mental image of the "choice" itself as a category of experience the organism has experienced before).
