title: Biological computing with diffusion and excitable calcium stores.
abstract: Intracellular signaling often employs excitable stores of calcium coupled by diffusion. We investigate the ability of various geometric configurations of such excitable stores to generate a complete set of logic gates for computation. We also describe how the mechanism of excitable calciuminduced calcium release can be used for constructing coincidence detectors for biological signals.
