Up until recently, habituation -- a simple form of learning -- was deemed the exclusive domain of complex organisms with brains and nervous systems, such as worms, insects, birds, and mammals. But a ...

A new study suggests that individual cells may exhibit learning-like behaviors, previously thought exclusive to organisms with nervous systems.
