Habituation in non-neural organisms: Evidence from slime moulds
Description
Evidence for learning in non-neural organisms is limited. A study demonstrated habituation in the non-neural organism Physarum polycephalum, showing it learned to ignore repeated stimuli. Results suggest non-neural organisms have capacity for learning, making them suitable for studying these processes, important for understanding evolution of learning.
