• 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.
• Current knowledge of molecular mechanisms in these aneural systems is synthesized, and several hypotheses for future investigation are proposed.

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