'Turing patterns' are named for Alan Turing based on his 1954 work The Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis. A more recent review of Turing patterns and animal patterns was published by Wooley, Baker, and Maini (2017). SRNCA was developed for a project training NCAs to model plant patterns by Gerg (2022).
