Développement du myxomycète "Physarum polycephalum", communément appelée blob
Among its many characteristics, the blob, although lacking a brain, is capable of learning from its experiences and transmitting the information learned to other individuals.
It thus proves that learning does not necessarily depend on the nervous system. Finally, it has a venous network that forms according to the same physical laws as the vascularisation of cancerous tumours, which could serve as a model.
