In recent years, researchers and laboratory support companies have recognized the utility of automated profiling of laboratory mouse activity and behavior in the home-cage. Video-based systems have emerged as a viable solution for non-invasive mouse monitoring. Wider use of vision systems for ethology studies requires the development of scalable hardware seamlessly integrated with vivarium vent...

We will show that ability of information processing in an amoeboid organism is higher than we had thought. The model organism is the plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum (true slime mold), which is a large aggregate of protoplasm with many nuclei. The organism found the optimal path when it obtained the multiple locations of food. A simple mathematical model for the path finding was proposed in ...
