Beyond task response – pre-stimulus activity modulates contents of consciousness Phys. Life Rev. (IF 11.7) Pub Date : 2024-03-04 Georg Northoff, Federico Zilio, Jianfeng Zhang
The current discussion on the neural correlates of the contents of consciousness (NCCc) focuses mainly on the post-stimulus period of task-related activity. This neglects the substantial impact of the spontaneous or ongoing activity of the brain as manifest in pre-stimulus activity. Does the interaction of pre- and post-stimulus activity shape the contents of consciousness? Addressing this gap in our

The interplay between biochemical mediators and mechanotransduction in chondrocytes: Unravelling the differential responses in primary knee osteoarthritis Phys. Life Rev. (IF 11.7) Pub Date : 2024-02-12 Maria Segarra-Queralt, Katherine Crump, Andreu Pascuet-Fontanet, Benjamin Gantenbein, Jérôme Noailly
In primary or idiopathic osteoarthritis (OA), it is unclear which factors trigger the shift of articular chondrocyte activity from pro-anabolic to pro-catabolic. In fact, there is a controversy about the aetiology of primary OA, either mechanical or inflammatory. Chondrocytes are mechanosensitive cells, that integrate mechanical stimuli into cellular responses in a process known as mechanotransduction

It is more than recognized and accepted that the environment affects the physiological responses of all living things, from bacteria to superior vertebrates, constituting an important factor in the evolution of all species. Environmental influences range from natural processes such as sunlight, seasons of the year, and rest to complex processes like stress and other mood disorders, infections, and

‘Snakes and Ladders’ in Paleoanthropology: From cognitive surprise to skillfulness a million years ago Phys. Life Rev. (IF 11.7) Pub Date : 2024-01-21 Héctor Marín Manrique, Karl John Friston, Michael John Walker
A paradigmatic account may suffice to explain behavioral evolution in early Homo. We propose a parsimonious account that (1) could explain a particular, frequently-encountered, archeological outcome of behavior in early Homo — namely, the fashioning of a Paleolithic stone ‘handaxe’ — from a biological theoretic perspective informed by the free energy principle (FEP); and that (2) regards instances

The evolution of human music in light of increased prosocial behavior: a new model Phys. Life Rev. (IF 11.7) Pub Date : 2023-12-28 Aleksey Nikolsky, Antonio Benítez-Burraco
Together with language, music is perhaps our most distinctive behavioral trait. Following the lead of evolutionary linguistic research, different hypotheses have been proposed to explain why only humans perform music and how this ability might have evolved in the species. In this paper, we advance a new model of music evolution that builds on the theory of selfdomestication, according to which the

Theories of Visual Mental Imagery (VMI) emphasize the processes of retrieval, modification, and recombination of sensory information from long-term memory. Yet, only few studies have focused on the behavioral mechanisms and neural correlates supporting VMI of stimuli from different semantic domains. Therefore, we currently have a limited understanding of how the brain generates and maintains mental

Graph theory is now becoming a standard tool in system-level neuroscience. However, endowing observed brain anatomy and dynamics with a complex network structure does not entail that the brain actually works as a network. Asking whether the brain behaves as a network means asking whether network properties count. From the viewpoint of neurophysiology and, possibly, of brain physics, the most substantial

We are excited about Verga et al.'s [22], [22] exhortation to look beyond humans to understand the purpose, scope, and evolution of social timing. We argue that the field should expand even further. We first point out the enabling role of the spatial environment, which constrains social interaction and in which social interaction is embedded. Second, we argue that a full appreciation of the emergence

The control of movement in living organisms represents a fundamental task that the brain has evolved to solve. One crucial aspect is how the nervous system organizes the transformation of sensory information into motor commands. These commands lead to muscle activation and subsequent animal movement, which can exhibit complex patterns. One example of such movement is locomotion, which involves the
