Levels of active TFs can fluctuate on the same time scale as individual binding and unbinding events to the DNA, causing 'non-equilibrium' gene regulatory responses.
We believe this may be pervasive in bacterial gene regulation.

💡 Just like Pavlov’s experiments, the amoeba learned to associate external signals with future heat stress.

Trained cells were far more likely to survive, suggesting memory can exist even without neurons.
