In neurons and semiconductors, the charge-carriers are different, and the processes establishing electric fields and concentration gradients are different, but the link between diffusion and the electric field is fundamental to both. The rest of this section will now give some examples of how these temperature dependencies are manifested in neural and electronic systems. A similarly changeable situation prevails in VLSI chips such as the FPGAs used in evolutionary electronics. The rest of the paper addresses this question, attempting to apply the findings to evolutionary electronics along the way, before finally commenting on the implications for ALife modelling studies. The second is to produce a system that regulates its internal temperature to be within limits it can cope with.
Many animals do both.
