Associative Learning and Memory Erasure in a Synthetic Multicellular System
Learning is a basic form of adaptation that organisms display from neural systems to single cells. In associative learning, the pairing of two stimuli lets one of them evoke the response to the other. Engineering this behavior in a living cell is difficult, because coincidence detection, memory, and conditional readout must be wired into a single regulatory network. Here we build a consortium of…
