• On Having No Head: Cognition throughout Biological Systems

  299 citations

• Cognition, including memory and learning, is discussed as occurring in aneural contexts across single-celled organisms, plants, and tissues in animal bodies.
• Cellular signaling modes are presented as preexisting biological mechanisms that neurons optimized rather than originated, so information-processing dynamics can be implemented without a central nervous system.

• No direct concept-to-concept edges are published yet.
