The little Stentor home shopping at the end is so adorable to me! How in the world do I actually manage to look at these small tiny organisms and actually find them cute? I don't know, but I love it! Also, as a brain damaged person (TBI), this subject/video is particularly fascinating to me. I feel like i'm on auto pilot sometimes without realizing that I switched over and I don't even notice what I'm doing while I'm doing it. I guess maybe I'm not alone :D
@Vent69420
@Vent69420 4 года назад
A possible answer to why you find them cute might be an abstract association with cultural forms of art, like cartoons. Unconsciously (or sub-consciously) you enjoy and find them cute because they resemble relatable aspects of living organisms that you find cute, or perhaps fictional artwork that you also find cute. It is weird how a brain can co-relate a cute living organism with an abstract piece of art and then further make connections to these tiny creatures. At least according to me, this seems to be the simplest answer my limited knowledge can come up with. Also, you are definitely not alone about the autopilot bit! Nature seems to control even the most self-aware organisms, for example, the simple adrenaline rush in a fight or flight response, your TBI in fact brings you closer to nature and every other living organism! I hope you have fun at every moment, though!

This has to be one of the most fascinating among all of these wonderful videos. All of my life I have been intrigued by single cells doing what many people thought that ONLY humans could do. It seems infinitely more difficult to understand how humans think and decide. But here, reduced to the "simplest" unit of life, single cells seem to do everything that we do except talk and play chess. This seems so profound, mysterious, awesome. Now I'm a senior citizen at risk of being terminated by something that probably isn't even alive. I do hope that I will live long enough to learn more about how single cells can interact with the universe in such a complex ways. Keep up the good work guys.

You guys are absolutely blowing my mind with these videos I really appreciate it. It's incredible that even at the microscopic level there is predator and prey. It seems like the African Savanna, so much variation. Tiny plant life photosynthesising, animals eating the plants, the predators that eat them, and rudimentary eyes to perceive light and circadian rhythms. It looks as if life just grew more complex and larger, but the evolutionary basis of finding food and reproduction have remained the same. There must be biological laws to life its self, similar to the laws of physics.

As a cell biologist this is absolutely fascinating. These single celled organisms appear to be making "decisions" but they're really just spontaneously reacting to the environment through various receptors and the subsequent changes in protein organization (shifting the cytoskeleton to change shape), protein function (like waving cilia) as well as transcription and translation of new proteins to change what the cell is doing at any given time.

Thing is, single cells seem to show some capability of being computationally complete. And that goes for nerve cells too. So the brain as an organ is actually an entire computational network processing information and not just a single computer. So think of this kind of thing as being akin to scaling parallel processing, and how that affects the ability to deal with information. Single cells of course may not be able to compute much in terms of stimulus vs. response, but perhaps they're able to respond a lot faster since thy don't have to do a poll and come to a consensus for their decision like the brain of some multi-cellular organism.

What I want to know is HOW they (e.g. a paramecium) make these decisions? How do the cilia coordinate to go in one particular direction based on where the thing WANTS to go. How does it know it is being poked? Is there something equivalent to a tiny brain and nervous system going on in that chemical soup of the single cell? Do each cilia 'decide' what to do independently and the combination results in coordinated movement? Just how does this work on such a small scale? Understanding this is vital to understanding consciousness, I think. When/how does a chemical reaction become a decision?

Lovely video. Glad the Stentor got a happy new home at the end, haha! But if poking it to see what happens isn't science, I dunno what is!

Your videos are my favorite biological rabbit hole to go down. These vids are like potato chips: just one is not possible

10 to 20% of the genome of organisms code for genes which order protein production. The other 80 to 90% is an "operating system" which is a massively parallel groupings of AND, OR, and NOR gates which serve to create rapid "decisions" which permit survival. We humans simply fail to grasp the utterly fantastic constant information processing , the dance of rapid protein cascades affecting cytoskeleton shape and ciliary motion (even in the simplest flagellated bacterium) And, the dance of RNA with DNA/histones for gene promotion and silencing is so utterly incredible, only tiny portions cannot be grasped.
