Are Slime Moulds Living Memristors?    [PDF]

Ella Gale, Andrew Adamatzky, Ben de Lacy Costello

In laboratory experiments we demonstrate that protoplasmic tubes of acellular slime mould \emph{Physarum polycephalum} show current versus voltage profiles consistent with memristive systems. This result complements previous findings on memristive properties of other living systems (human skin and blood and leaves) and contributes to development of self-growing bio-electronic circuits.
