This paper introduces a composite, multilevel, and multidimensional model of consciousness as a heuristic framework to guide research in this field. Consciousness is treated as a complex phenomenon, with distinct constituents and dimensions that can be operationalized for study and for evaluating their replication. We argue that this model provides a balanced approach to artificial consciousness research by avoiding binary thinking (e.g., conscious vs. non-conscious) and offering a structured basis for testable hypotheses. To illustrate its utility, we focus on \"awareness\" as a case study, demonstrating how specific dimensions of consciousness can be pragmatically analyzed and targeted for potential artificial instantiation. By breaking down the conceptual intricacies of consciousness and aligning them with practical research goals, this paper lays the groundwork for a robust strategy to advance the scientific and technical understanding of artificial consciousness.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":403,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Life Reviews","volume":"52 ","pages":"Pages 180-193"},"PeriodicalIF":13.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142942198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While traditional research has focused on pairwise interactions between neurons, recent studies highlight the importance of higher-order interactions involving multiple neurons. Both types of interactions lead to complex synchronous spatiotemporal patterns, including the fascinating phenomenon of chimera states, where synchronized and desynchronized neuronal activity coexist. These patterns are thought to resemble pathological states such as schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease, and their emergence is influenced by neuronal dynamics as well as by synaptic connections and network structure. This review integrates the current understanding of how pairwise and higher-order interactions contribute to different synchrony patterns in neuronal networks, providing a comprehensive overview of their role in shaping network dynamics. We explore a broad range of connectivity mechanisms that drive diverse neuronal synchrony patterns, from pairwise long-range temporal interactions and time-delayed coupling to adaptive communication and higher-order, time-varying connections. We cover key neuronal models, including the Hindmarsh-Rose model, the stochastic Hodgkin-Huxley model, the Sherman model, and the photosensitive FitzHugh-Nagumo model. By investigating the emergence and stability of various synchronous states, this review highlights their significance in neurological systems and indicates directions for future research in this rapidly evolving field.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":403,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Life Reviews","volume":"52 ","pages":"Pages 144-170"},"PeriodicalIF":13.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142926213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We discuss findings revolving around three central tenets. First, we show that—like concrete concepts—also abstract concepts evoke sensorimotor experiences, even if to a lower extent, and that they are linked to inner experiences (e.g., interoceptive, proprioceptive, and metacognitive). Second, we present findings suggesting that linguistic and social interaction are crucial for acquiring and using abstract concepts. Specifically, rating and behavioral studies reveal that people tend to feel uncertain about the meaning of abstract concepts. On top of that, with abstract concepts, people rely more on others to ask for information, negotiate conceptual meaning, or outsource their knowledge. We propose that inner speech might contribute both to the monitoring process and the preparation to interact with others. Finally, we illustrate recent studies conducted in our lab highlighting abstract concepts variability across individuals (age, expertise), cultures, and languages.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":403,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Life Reviews","volume":"52 ","pages":"Pages 109-128"},"PeriodicalIF":13.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142890926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, we overview the most important features of spontaneous folding of proteins (mostly, of the single-domain water-soluble globular proteins): the choice of the unique protein structure among zillions of alternatives, the nucleation of the folding process, and phase transitions within protein molecules. We consider the main experimental facts on protein folding, both in vivo and in vitro, of both kinetic and thermodynamic nature. We discuss the famous Levinthal's paradox of protein folding and its solution, theoretical models of protein folding and unfolding, and the dependence of the rates of these processes on the protein chain length. Special attention is paid to relatively small, single-domain, and water-soluble globular proteins whose structure and folding are much better studied and understood than those of large proteins, especially membrane or fibrous proteins. Lastly, we describe the chaperone-assisted protein folding with an emphasis on the chaperones’ ability to prevent proteins from their irreversible aggregation. Since the possible assistance mechanisms connected with chaperones are still debatable, experimental data useful in selecting the most likely mechanisms of chaperone-assisted protein folding are presented.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":403,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Life Reviews","volume":"52 ","pages":"Pages 66-79"},"PeriodicalIF":13.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142875613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
