Automatic mimicry, where social animals mimic the emotional expressions of others, is a well-documented phenomenon. While research has extensively examined how being mimicked influences our perception of others, the fundamental question of why we mimic remains largely unexplored. Previous theories often link mimicry with an affiliative social goal. While we agree that mimicry can increase survival chances by enhancing group cohesion, we argue for a more primitive adaptive value that may operate independently of social bonding. By reviewing existing literature, we propose that mimicry serves as a mechanism to predict other individuals, and consequently, the environment, enhancing survival of the individual. We posit a shift towards understanding mimicry as a mechanism that minimizes prediction error, empowering individuals to navigate their surroundings more effectively. Embracing mimicry as a tool for self-preservation and environmental prediction opens new avenues for interdisciplinary research in comparative psychology and behavioral ecology.

Schizophrenia is characterized by symptoms such as delusions, hallucinations, and avolition. The diagnosis is clinical, based on interviews and the main treatment involves antipsychotics. Currently, given the lack of clinically applicable biomarkers for schizophrenia, there is no molecular test based on its biological mechanisms to assist psychiatrists either in the prediction or diagnosis of the disorder, nor to measure medication efficacy. This scoping review assessed original articles in English about protein biomarkers for schizophrenia with samples that could be used in a clinical context, classifying them into diagnosis, prognosis, therapeutics, risk for psychosis, and side-effects. The search was conducted on PubMed and key findings were inserted on a summary table. We discussed the methodologies used in these papers, suggested protein panels for validation in longitudinal research, and proposed a hypothesis to explain the observed variability in results. This heterogeneity is explored in light of the debated validity of this construct, applying recent discussions and the disorder’s history. Our data suggest that there is insufficient evidence to integrate protein biomarkers into clinical psychiatry for schizophrenia, not due to study quality, but possibly due to flaws in the current diagnostic system. We propose exploring alternative categorization systems.

The motivation to interact with humans is central to dogs’ domestication process. This review aims to provide a curated overview of the current knowledge about dogs’ human-directed sociability using Tinbergen’s four questions as a guiding framework. Firstly, we explore its evolutionary history, discussing wolf-dog differences in the socialization period, fear response, sociability, and attachment to elucidate the effect of domestication. Secondly, we address its ontogeny, highlighting the importance of early life experiences, examining findings on different dog populations to discern the effect of adult life experiences, and reporting changes across the lifespan. Thirdly, we analyse the adaptive value of the dog-human relationship, considering the effects of human association on different dog populations. Fourthly, we elaborate on the mechanisms involved in the dog-human relationship, discussing underlying cognitive and genetic processes and findings on the neurophysiological effects of interacting with humans. Finally, we identify issues and remaining questions that deserve more scrutiny and suggest innovative approaches that could be explored to improve our understanding of dogs’ human-directed sociability.

Female sexual behaviors in rodents (lordosis and appetitive or “proceptive” behaviors) are induced through a genomic mechanism by the sequential actions of estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P), or E2 and testosterone (T) at their respective receptors. However, non-steroidal agents, such as gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), noradrenaline, dopamine, oxytocin, α-melanocyte stimulating hormone, nitric oxide, leptin, apelin, and others, facilitate different aspects of female sexual behavior through their cellular and intracellular effects at the membrane and genomic levels in ovariectomized rats primed with E2. These neurotransmitters often act as intermediaries of E2 and P (or T). The classical model of steroid hormone action through intracellular receptor binding has been complemented by an alternative scenario wherein the steroid functions as a transcription factor after binding the receptor protein to DNA. Another possible mechanism occurs through the activation of second messenger systems (cyclic AMP, cyclic GMP, calcium), which subsequently initiate phosphorylation events via diverse kinase systems (protein kinases A, G, or C). These kinases target the progesterone receptor (PR) or associated effector proteins that connect the PR to the trans-activation machinery. This may also happen to the androgen receptor (AR). In addition, other cellular mechanisms could be involved since the chemical structure of these non-steroidal agents causes a change in their lipophobicity that prevents them from penetrating the cell and exerting direct transcriptional effects; however, they can exert effects on different components of the cell membrane activating a cross-talk between the cell membrane and the regulation of the transcriptional mechanisms.

Alterations in decision-making are considered core to anorexia nervosa (AN) phenomenology and may maintain illness through maladaptive choice behavior. This systematic review (n = 77) aimed to extend prior reviews beyond standard neuropsychological batteries by incorporating novel value-based choice tasks and computational methods. We organize findings across key factors, including: 1) illness state, 2) developmental stage, and 3) AN subtype, and highlight available neuroimaging findings. Differences in decision-making appear consistent during illness, including in weight-restored samples, but not in recovery and not in all domains. Differences are not consistently present in adolescence, although punishment sensitivity may be heightened; AN subtypes are not consistently distinguishable. Overall, decision-making varies by context and is influenced by reward/punishment processing, risk/uncertainty, and flexibility/control. Utilization of computational modeling methods, possibly increasing precision, highlight that, although raw behavior may not differ at recovery, latent decision-making processes appear impacted. Clinical interventions may benefit from consideration of context when working to shape choice behavior and from consideration of latent decision-making processes that influence how choices are made.

Numerous studies have investigated environmental risk factors in ADHD, and Bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine disruptor, is suspected by several reviews. However, the quality of the studies has never been carefully assessed, leading us to rigorously examine associations between BPA exposure and ADHD and associated symptoms in children. Using PRISMA criteria, we conducted a systematic review on the MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCOhost, PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES and Cochrane databases. We used the ROBINS-E tool to assess the quality, and the GRADE Approach. This study was registered with PROSPERO, CRD42023377150. Out of 10446 screened articles, 46 were included. Unlike pre-existing reviews, most studies failed to find clear links with ADHD or associated symptoms, with a high risk of bias and a very low level of certainty. Our systematic review reveals insufficient evidence regarding the impact of BPA on ADHD, despite some behavioral results that cannot be generalized. Future studies will require improved consideration of confounding factors and more precise sampling methods. This study did not receive specific funding.
许多研究都对多动症的环境风险因素进行了调查,而双酚 A(BPA)作为一种内分泌干扰物被多篇综述所怀疑。然而,这些研究的质量从未经过仔细评估,这促使我们严格研究双酚 A 暴露与儿童多动症及相关症状之间的关联。根据 PRISMA 标准,我们在 MEDLINE/PubMed、Web of Science、EBSCOhost、PsycINFO、PsycARTICLES 和 Cochrane 数据库中进行了系统性综述。我们使用 ROBINS-E 工具和 GRADE 方法对研究质量进行了评估。本研究已在 PROSPERO 注册,注册号为 CRD42023377150。在筛选出的 10446 篇文章中,有 46 篇被纳入。与之前的综述不同,大多数研究未能发现与多动症或相关症状的明确联系,偏倚风险较高,确定性很低。我们的系统综述显示,尽管有一些行为学结果不能一概而论,但关于双酚 A 对多动症影响的证据不足。未来的研究需要更好地考虑混杂因素和更精确的取样方法。本研究未获得专项资助。

Humans are highly efficient at recognising familiar faces. However, previous EEG/ERP research has given a partial and fragmented account of the neural basis of this remarkable ability. We argue that this is related to insufficient consideration of fundamental characteristics of familiar face recognition. These include image-independence (recognition across different pictures), levels of familiarity (familiar faces vary hugely in duration and intensity of our exposure to them), automaticity (we cannot voluntarily withhold from recognising a familiar face), and domain-selectivity (the degree to which face familiarity effects are selective). We review recent EEG/ERP work, combining uni- and multivariate methods, that has systematically targeted these shortcomings. We present a theoretical account of familiar face recognition, dividing it into early visual, domain-sensitive and domain-general phases, and integrating image-independence and levels of familiarity. Our account incorporates classic and more recent concepts, such as multi-dimensional face representation and course-to-fine processing. While several questions remain to be addressed, this new account represents a major step forward in our understanding of the neurophysiological basis of familiar face recognition.

Temporal judgments are more affected by space than vice versa. This asymmetry has often been interpreted as primacy of spatial representations over temporal ones. This interpretation is in line with conceptual metaphor theory that humans conceptualize time by spatial metaphors, but is inconsistent with the assumption of a common neuronal magnitude system. Here we review the accumulating evidence for a genuinely symmetric interference between time and space and discuss potential explanations as to why asymmetric interference can arise, both with respect to the interaction between spatial size and temporal duration, and the interaction between traveled distance and travel time. Contrary to the view of hierarchical representations of time and space, our review suggests that asymmetric interference can be explained on the basis of working memory processes and the aspect of speed inherent in dynamic stimuli. We conclude that the asymmetry we often get out (space affects time more than vice versa) is a consequence of the asymmetry we put in (by using biased paradigms and stimuli facilitating spatial processing).

Social connectedness (SC) is one of the most important predictors for physical and mental health. Consequently, SC is addressed in an increasing number of studies, providing evidence for the multidimensionality of the construct, and revealing several factors that contribute to individual differences in SC. However, a unified model that can address SC subcomponents is yet missing. Here we take a novel perspective and discuss whether individual differences in SC can be explained by a person’s social information processing profile that represents individual tendencies of how social information is perceived and interpreted and leads to motivated social behavior. After summarizing the current knowledge on SC and core findings from the fields of social perception and mentalizing, social motivation and social action, we derive a working model that links individual stages of social information processing to structural, functional, and qualitative aspects of SC. This model allows for deriving testable hypotheses on the foundations of SC and we outline several suggestions how these aspects can be addressed by future research.

This model allows for deriving testable hypotheses on the foundations of SC and we outline several suggestions how these aspects can be addressed by future research.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56105,"journal":{"name":"Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews","volume":"167 ","pages":"Article 105945"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142644933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
