摘要: Biocomputing in a multi-cellular organism is implemented computational networks arranged hierarchical fashion (Conrad, 1990a). In addition to the obvious network formed by interconnecting neurons, numerous biochemical processes cytoplasm and nucleus can be regarded as distributed network. Conrad (1984) has characterized biocomputing hierarchy of microscopic-macroscopic (m-M) dynamics, which microscopic intracellular are vertically coupled macroscopic interneuronal means second messenger signaling — an intermolecular process commonly referred signal transduction. Signal transduction takes place membrane its vicinity, dimension too large considered but small macroscopic. Information processing at level thus mesoscopic process.
