• On Having No Head: Cognition throughout Biological Systems (2016, background): “Especially cells in root apices are very active in these neuronallike activities and act as brain-like command centers (Baluška et al., 2004, 2009a,b, 2010; Baluška and Mancuso, 2009, 2013), navigating growing roots in their search for water and mineral nutrients in soil, and active root avoidance…”
