This is the key question lurking behind the various excellent and very thoughtful commentaries to our target article which we group along four main topics and questions. (i) What is the role of neural features like alpha power, phase dynamics, trial-to-trial variability and fractal scale-free dynamics in yielding pre-post-stimulus interaction and its conscious contents. (ii) What do we mean by ‘content’ of consciousness? This concerns its meaning, its characterization as internal or external, and its relation to the basic subjectivity of consciousness. (iii) How does our approach stand to other theories of consciousness like the Dendritic Integration Theory (DIT), GNWT and IIT? This concerns the convergence among the different theories that highlight distinct aspects. (iv) How can we detail the spatiotemporal shaping of the contents of consciousness including their intrinsically subjective nature through pre-post-stimulus interaction? This concerns the details of how the non-additive pre-post-stimulus interaction shapes the subjective nature of our experience of conscious contents, that is, how the neuronal activity connects to the phenomenal features of consciousness. Together, we conclude that the contents of consciousness are shaped primarily in a temporal-dynamic and spatial-topographic way through the non-additive pre-post-stimulus interaction. Such spatiotemporal shaping of the contents in our consciousness constitutes their intrinsically subjective nature which must be distinguished from their (more objective) modulation by cognitive, sensory, affective, and motor functions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":403,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Life Reviews","volume":"53 ","pages":"Pages 76-90"},"PeriodicalIF":13.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143534867","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 conducted a thorough review of the clinical and experimental literature related to ionizing radiation, with a focus on its acute effects. Specifically, we examined the three domains of X-ray perception found in animals (abdominal, olfactory, and retinal), which led us to instances of ionizing radiation-induced hearing and taste sensory phenomena in humans thus suggesting that humans can perceive X-rays across various sensory modalities via multiple mechanisms. We also analyzed literature to understand the mechanisms associated with reported symptoms, this led us to the concept of radiomodulation, an understudied modulatory effect of sub-ablative ionizing radiation doses on neurons. Based on this review of the literature we propose the hypothesis that a significant radiomodulation mechanism is the formation of reactive oxygen species from radiolysis which activates immune and sensory signal transduction mechanisms specifically related to the redox activity in TRP and K<sup>+</sup> channels. Additionally, we find evidence to support the previous claims of perception stemming from Cherenkov radiation and ozone production which are perceived using canonical sensory modalities. Finally, for we provide a concise summary of the applications of ionizing radiation in clinical imaging and therapy, as well as prospects for future developments of radiation technologies for biomedical and fundamental research.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":403,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Life Reviews","volume":"53 ","pages":"Pages 1-21"},"PeriodicalIF":13.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143471229","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}

These oscillations feature a universal frequency architecture that is governed by brain anatomy, ensuring frequency specificity remains invariant across different measurement techniques. Initial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methodology constrained functional MRI (fMRI) investigations to a singular frequency range, thereby neglecting the frequency characteristics inherent in blood oxygen level-dependent oscillations. With advancements in MRI technology, it has become feasible to decode intricate brain activities via multi-band frequency analysis (MBFA). During the past decade, the utilization of MBFA in fMRI studies has surged, unveiling frequency-dependent characteristics of spontaneous slow oscillations (SSOs) believed to base dark energy in the brain. There remains a dearth of conclusive insights and hypotheses pertaining to the properties and functionalities of SSOs in distinct bands. We surveyed the SSO MBFA studies during the past 15 years to delineate the attributes of SSOs and enlighten their correlated functions. We further proposed a model to elucidate the hierarchical organization of multi-band SSOs by integrating their function, aimed at bridging theoretical gaps and guiding future MBFA research endeavors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":403,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Life Reviews","volume":"52 ","pages":"Pages 278-297"},"PeriodicalIF":13.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143377469","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}
