| Signal propagation on a time-evolving branching path |
In nature, signal processing elements are characterized by a branching shape; for example neurons, and
slime mold tubes. The branching shape evolves depending on the signal propagation on that branching
path. I focus on the basic mechanism of biological signal processing from the viewpoint of the relationship
between morphology and function. I will elicit why the shape of these elements is branching by reading
functions from the pattern of signal propagation with a simple mathematical model. For the development
I will research the mode of signal propagation on a coupled system of branching signaling path units.
