Abstract

The plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum is very sensitive to its environment and reacts to stimuli by its appropriate motions. The sensitive stage as well as the motor stage of these reactions are explained by hydrodynamic processes, based on fluid dynamics, with participating of actin filament networks. This chapter is devoted to actin filament networks as a computation medium. The point is that actin filaments with a participating of many other proteins like myosin are sensitive to outer cellular stimuli (attractants as well as repellents) and they appear and disappear at different places of the cell to change the cell structure, e.g. its shape. Due to assembling and disassembling actin filaments, some unicellular organisms like Amoeba proteus can move in responses to different stimuli.
