"Physarum polycephalum consists of two parts a “sponge” section including distributed actin-myosin fibers, and a “tube” section made up of actin-myosin fibers. These two parts consist of a mycelial network, which acts both as an information highway transporting chemical and physical signals and as a supply network circulating nutrients and metabolites throughout the organism. The topology of this network changes as Physarum explores the neighboring environment. Many remarkable intelligent behaviors have been displayed during this process."
