TL;DR
Both experimental and theoretical approaches showed that rich oscillation phenomena between the two-coupled oscillators, namely, desynchronizing and antiphase/in-phase synchronization, are closely related to the time delay effect in interactions between the oscillators.
Abstract
A living coupled oscillator system was constructed by a cell patterning method with a plasmodial slime mold, in which parameters such as coupling strength and distance between the oscillators can be systematically controlled. Rich oscillation phenomena between the two-coupled oscillators, namely, desynchronizing and antiphase/in-phase synchronization were observed according to these parameters. Both experimental and theoretical approaches showed that these phenomena are closely related to the time delay effect in interactions between the oscillators.

Experimental observations of time-delay-induced amplitude death in two coupled nonlinear electronic circuits that are individually capable of exhibiting limit-cycle oscillations are described and the existence of multiply connected death islands in the parameter space of coupling strength and time delay for coupled identical oscillators is established.

It is shown that for a finite delay time there exists a multitude of synchronized solutions in contrast to the situation without delay where one has at most one solution.

It is found that even small delay times lead to a novel form of frequency depression where the system decays to stable states which oscillate at a delay and interaction-dependent reduced collective frequency.

Spatio-temporal organization of a migrating plasmodium was studied both by analysing intracellular concentrations of adenine and cyclic nucleotides and by applying image processing for recording oscillatory changes in thickness with use of microcomputers.

Although in general only those carbohydrates which could support growth were attractants, there were exceptions such as 2-deoxy-D-glucose; hence metabolism of a compound was not necessary for attraction, and some compounds could be metabolized but did not attract.

The plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum shows shuttle protoplasmic streaming and, upon steady local stimulation, moves toward or away from high or low temperatures, respectively, however, these thermotactic behaviors were reversed by oscillating the stimulus temperature.

It is concluded that the protoplasmic flow in the plasmodium is caused by local difference in endoplasm pressure, and the view that the seat of the motive force responsible for the flow is located in the streaming protoplasms itself is untenable.

This study proposed a living model system of a coupled oscillator system in the Physarum plasmodium that has two wells (oscillator part) and a channel (coupling part), and found that the oscillation behavior of two oscillators dynamically changed depending on the channel width.

A model with frequency coupling besides the phase coupling in the system of coupled oscillators is introduced and it is shown that not only the phase gradient but also the concentration gradient of substances such as Ca 2+ and ATP are self-organized and their reverse by the stimulus results in the migration of plasmodium.

The weak interactions among plasmodial parts induce the switching of phase relationship from in-phase to anti-phase, and this transition acts to increase the interaction by promoting a rapid mixing of the protoplasm.

It has been made clear that the characteristic responses of the plasmoidal strand in the transient processes reflect nonlinear dynamics, that is an entrainment of the coupled oscillators with frequencies randomly distributed in the system.
