Introduction Early detection of depression is a cost-effective way to prevent adverse outcomes on brain physiology, cognition, and health. Here we propose that loneliness social adaptation are key factors can anticipate depressive symptoms. Methods We analyzed data from two separate samples evaluate the associations between loneliness, adaptation, symptoms, their neural correlates. Results For both samples, hierarchical regression models self-reported showed have negative positive effects Moreover, reduces impact Structural connectivity analysis share common substrate. Furthermore, functional demonstrated only was associated with in parietal areas. Discussion Altogether, our results suggest strong risk factor for symptoms while acts as buffer against ill loneliness. At neuroanatomical level, may affect integrity white matter structures known be emotion dysregulation cognitive impairment. On other hand, socio-adaptive processes protect harmful depression. correlates could indicate protective role through long short-term effects, respectively. These findings aid approaches preserve health via participation adaptive behavior.

Mirror neurons show activity during both the execution (AE) and observation of actions (AO). The Neuron System (MNS) could be involved motor imagery (MI) as well. Extensive research suggests that cerebellum is interconnected with MNS may critically in its activities. We gathered evidence on cerebellum's role functions, theoretically experimentally. Evidence shows plays a major AO MI lesions impair functions likely because, by modulating cortical inhibitory interneurons mirror properties, contribute to visuomotor matching, which fundamental for shaping properties. Indeed, strengthen sensory-motor patterns minimise discrepancy between predicted actual outcome, AE AO. Furthermore, through connections hippocampus, might internal simulations programs MI. Finally, cerebellar neuromodulation improve impact activity, we explored potential neurophysiological neurorehabilitation implications.

Dynamic technological development and its enormous impact on modern societies are posing new challenges for 21st-century neuroscience. A special place is occupied by technologies based virtual reality (VR). VR tools have already played a significant role in both basic clinical neuroscience due to their high accuracy, sensitivity specificity and, above all, ecological value.

Making sense of others' actions relies on the activation an action observation network (AON), which maps visual information about observed onto observer's motor system. This resonance process manifests in primary cortex (M1) as increased corticospinal excitability finely tuned to muscles engaged action. Motor M1 is facilitated by projections from higher-order AON regions. However, whether manipulating strength AON-to-M1 connectivity affects remains unclear.

Multiple representation theories posit that concepts are represented via a combination of properties derived from sensorimotor, affective, and linguistic experiences. Recently, it has been proposed information social experience, or socialness, represents another key aspect conceptual representation. How these various dimensions interact to form coherent space yet be fully explored. To address this, we capitalized on openly available word property norms for 6339 words conducted large-scale investigation into the relationships between 18 dimensions. An exploratory factor analysis reduced six higher-order factors: sub-lexical, distributional, visuotactile, body action, affective interaction. All factors explained unique variance in performance lexical semantic tasks, demonstrating they make important contributions meaning. novel finding was socialness dimension clustered with auditory modality mouth head actions. We suggest this reflects experiential learning verbal interpersonal interactions. Moreover, formally modelling network structure revealed pairwise partial correlations most highlighted centrality interoception dimension. Altogether, findings provide new insights architecture space, including importance inner highlight promising avenues future research.

The human ability to effortlessly understand the actions of other people has been focus research in cognitive neuroscience for decades. What have we learned about this ability, and what open questions remain? In Element authors address these by considering kinds information an observer may gain when viewing action. A 'what, how, why' framing organises evidence theories representations that support classifying action; how way action is performed supports observational learning inferences people; actor's intentions are inferred from her actions. Further shows brain systems understanding, inspired 'mirror neurons' related concepts. Understanding vision a multi-faceted process serves many behavioural goals, served diverse mechanisms systems.

When we interact with the environment around us, are sometimes active participants, making directed physical motor movements and other times only mentally engaging our environment, taking in sensory information internally planning next move without movement. Traditionally, cortical regions key subcortical structures such as cerebellum have been tightly linked to initiation, coordination, behavior. However, recent neuroimaging studies noted activation of wider networks specifically during various forms processing, including observations actions mental rehearsal through imagery. This phenomenon cognitive engagement traditional raises question how these brain involved initiation movement output. Here, will review evidence for distributed network execution, observation, imagery human well potential cerebellar involvement motor-related cognition. Converging suggests that a common global is both execution observation or imagery, specific task-dependent shifts patterns.

Apart from what (little) OpenAI may be concealing us, we all know (roughly) how ChatGPT works (its huge text database, its statistics, vector representations, and their number of parameters, next-word training, etc.). But none us can say (hand on heart) that are not surprised by has proved to able do with these resources. This even driven some conclude actually understands. It’s true it is also understand do.

These biases inherent in the nature language itself, LLM-scale, they closely linked lacks, which direct sensorimotor grounding connect words referents propositions meanings. related (1) parasitism indirect verbal grounding, (2) circularity definition, (3) “mirroring” production comprehension, (4) iconicity (5) computational counterparts human “categorical perception” category learning neural nets, perhaps (6) a conjecture Chomsky laws thought.
