The slime mold 's tendrils , they found , produced interconnections strikingly similar to the layout of the tokyo railway system .
他们发现,粘菌卷须产生的相互连接的网络,与东京铁路系统惊人地相似。
As the mold tendrils grew toward each other and joined up , the researchers used network diagrams ( like subway maps ) to track the connections between tendrils .
当粘菌的卷须彼此相对生长并联合起来,研究人员可使用网络图(像地铁地图)追踪卷须之间的连接。
The grey matter is the cell bodies of the neurons , while the white matter is the branching network of thread-like tendrils - called dendrites and axons - that spread out from the cell bodies to connect to other neurons .
