In our 2020 target paper (“Is temporospatial dynamics the ‘common currency’ of brain and mind? Spatiotemporal Neuroscience”) we proposed the “Common currency hypothesis”: temporo-spatial dynamics are shared by neural and mental features, providing their connection. The current paper aims to further support and extend the original description of such common currency into a first outline of a “Common currency theory” (CCT) of neuro-mental relationship. First, we extend the range of examples to thoughts, meditation, depression and attention all lending support that temporal characteristics, (i.e. dynamics) are shared by both neural and mental features. Second, we now also show empirical examples of how spatial characteristics, i.e., topography, are shared by neural and mental features; this is illustrated by topographic reorganization of both neural and mental states in depression and meditation. Third, considering the neuro-mental connection in theoretical terms, we specify their relationship by distinct forms of temporospatial correspondences, ranging on a continuum from simple to complex. In conclusion, we extend our initial hypothesis about the key role of temporo-spatial dynamics in neuro-mental relationship into a first outline of an integrated mind-brain theory, the “Common currency theory” (CCT).</div></div>","PeriodicalId":403,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Life Reviews","volume":"52 ","pages":"Pages 29-43"},"PeriodicalIF":13.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142743726","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}

In this brief article we present a glimpse of the major advances during this period. First, we present similarities and differences between collective intracellular transport of a single micron-size cargo by multiple molecular motors and that of a cargo particle by a team of ants on the basis of the common principle of load-sharing. Second, we sketch several models all of which are biologically motivated extensions of the Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process (ASEP); some of these models represent the traffic of molecular machines, like RNA polymerase (RNAP) and ribosome, that catalyze template-directed polymerization of RNA and proteins, respectively, whereas few other models capture the key features of the traffic of ants on trails. More specifically, using the ASEP-based models we demonstrate the effects of traffic of RNAPs and ribosomes on random and ‘programmed’ errors in gene expression as well as on some other subcellular processes. We recall a puzzling empirical result on the single-lane traffic of predatory ants <em>Leptogenys processionalis</em> as well as recent attempts to account for this puzzle. We also mention some surprising effects of lane-changing rules observed in a ASEP-based model for 3-lane traffic of army ants. Finally, we explain the conceptual similarities between the pheromone-mediated indirect communication, called stigmergy, between ants on a trail and the floor-field-mediated interaction between humans in a pedestrian traffic. For the floor-field model of human pedestrian traffic we present a major theoretical result that is relevant from the perspective of all types of traffic phenomena.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":403,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Life Reviews","volume":"51 ","pages":"Pages 409-422"},"PeriodicalIF":13.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142685585","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}

However, a large number of recent studies highlighted the importance of transient dynamics in ecological and eco-evolutionary systems, in particular ‘long transients’ that can last for hundreds of generations or even longer. Many models as well as empirical studies indicated that a system can function for a long time in a certain state or regime (a ‘metastable regime’) but later exhibits an abrupt transition to another regime not preceded by any parameter change (or following the change that occurred long before the transition). This scenario where tipping occurs without any apparent source of a regime shift is also referred to as ‘metastability’. Despite considerable evidence of the presence of long transients in real-world systems as well as models, until recently research into long-living transients in ecology has remained in its infancy, largely lacking systematisation. Within the past decade, however, substantial progress has been made in creating a unifying theory of long transients in deterministic as well as stochastic systems. This has considerably accelerated further studies on long transients, in particular on those characterised by more complicated patterns and/or underlying mechanisms. The main goal of this review is to provide an overview of recent research on long transients and related regime shifts in models of ecological dynamics. We pay special attention to the role of environmental stochasticity, the effect of multiple timescales (slow-fast systems), transient spatial patterns, and relation between transients and spatial synchronisation. We also discuss current challenges and open questions in understanding transients with applications to ecosystems dynamics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":403,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Life Reviews","volume":"51 ","pages":"Pages 423-441"},"PeriodicalIF":13.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142702598","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}
