Is plant Neurobiology an actual science? http://timewheel.ne

Soon it will be considered by many people, just as psychology.

Eh, its complicated, neurobiology is definitely the wrong word as plants lack anything resembling nerves or brain matter, but its definitely interesting in its own way, its all hormones and chemical messengers and symbiosis with other organisms to a complexity level that is truely impressive. I know of a study that actually took a bacteria discovered in Alaska, which produced anti-biotics and herbicides, exposed it to plant extract, and observed that it ceased to produce herbicide.

In other words, some bacteria that has likely never even been near a potato in its evolutionary history reacts when exposed to them. Its truly impressive, especially from something thats supposed to literally be as dumb as dirt.

Yeah it's just botany... but deeeeeep botany

People actually study this?

plants can be stimulated by magnetism.

that would be the application for it I think.

You could make logic gates through genetic engineering. You could make transistors. You could get rid of all these ugly telephone wires and instead just use plants and trees to form a self load balancing, high fault tolerance, and self repairing power and communications grid.

I read an interview with one of those guys in a dutch magazine I think, he admitted it's not neurology at all but still insists on calling it that, instead of something sensible like "plant behaviour" or smth.

Every known biological system can be stimulated by magnetism.

lol imagine that

wood pc would not be an insult anymore

Fucking biological systems, how do they work?

You have this thing called corpus cavernosum and then you

well that one guy in the recent movie about that mars mission where he grew potatoes there was a botanist
