Learning without neurons - how a single cell processes information Speaker: Wallace Marshall, Ph.D. Professor at the University of California San Francisco Abstract: Cells show a range of complex behaviors which might normally associated with cognition, including basic forms of learning such as habituation. The giant single-celled ciliate Stentor coeruleus is a pond-dwelling organism that attaches to substrates like pond plants and filter feeds by means of a ring of cilia at one end of the cell. Stentor cells can contract in response to mechanical stimulation, an effective escape mechanism but energetically costly. To avoid contracting due to random collision with non-threatening things like algae or pond plants, but still allow contraction when a large predator attacks, Stentor cells use a simple form of learning: when a cell is mechanically stimulated over and over again, it will gradually stop responding, representing a case of habituation. Our goal is to understand how a single cell learns, …
