How Molecules Matter to Mental Computation
... Multi-cellular computing also exhibits massive parallelism as cells independently receive and send signals to each other. There are three types of signaling by secreted molecules (Lodish et al. 2000, ch. 20). In autocrine signaling, a cell signals itself by secreting molecules that bind to its own r ...
