Understanding and promoting cooperative behaviour among self-interested individuals is a critical concern in physical, biological, and social sciences. Numerous foundational mechanisms for the evolution of cooperation have been identified, and these mechanisms have served as the basis for developing tools and interventions designed to sustain and enhance cooperative behaviour. However, since both foundational mechanisms and the derived tools and interventions often involve costs affecting individuals or institutions, striving for maximum cooperation can sometimes harm social welfare, defined as the total population payoff. Herein, we review existing evolutionary mechanisms for the evolution of cooperation as well as tools and interventions based on these mechanisms, emphasising the often-overlooked hidden costs that may lead to a misalignment between cooperation and social welfare. By explicitly incorporating these hidden factors into the models, we analyse the conditions under which they reduce social welfare, across a broad range of social dilemma games and evolutionary forces. Additionally, we review experimental studies that support and inform mathematical models and agent-based simulations. We highlight when considering social welfare is crucial, as misalignment is most likely to occur. Ultimately, we argue that social welfare, not just cooperation, should be the primary optimisation objective when designing interventions for social good. We also suggest several key directions to further explore this often-overlooked issue in the literature. Overall, we reveal that hidden costs often influence the alignment between cooperation and social welfare, challenging the common prioritisation of cooperation alone.
理解和促进自利个体之间的合作行为是物理、生物和社会科学的一个关键问题。已经确定了合作演变的许多基本机制,这些机制已成为开发旨在维持和加强合作行为的工具和干预措施的基础。然而,由于基本机制和衍生工具和干预措施往往涉及影响个人或机构的成本,争取最大限度的合作有时会损害社会福利,即总体人口收益。在此,我们回顾了现有的合作进化机制,以及基于这些机制的工具和干预措施,强调了经常被忽视的隐性成本,这些成本可能导致合作与社会福利之间的错位。通过明确地将这些隐藏因素纳入模型,我们分析了它们在广泛的社会困境游戏和进化力量中减少社会福利的条件。此外,我们回顾了支持数学模型和基于主体的模拟的实验研究。我们强调,当考虑到社会福利是至关重要的,因为错位是最有可能发生的。最后,我们认为,在设计社会福利干预措施时,社会福利,而不仅仅是合作,应该是主要的优化目标。我们还提出了几个关键方向,以进一步探讨这个经常被忽视的问题在文献中。总体而言,我们发现隐性成本经常影响合作与社会福利之间的一致性,挑战了合作的共同优先级。

Reevaluating thalamic contributions to pain: A translational framework for precision neuromodulation 重新评估丘脑对疼痛的贡献:精确神经调节的翻译框架
IF 14.3 1区 生物学 Q1 BIOLOGY Pub Date : 2026-03-01 Epub Date: 2026-02-07 DOI: 10.1016/j.plrev.2026.02.001

The thalamus plays a central role in processing both acute and chronic pain. Yet, identifying specific thalamic targets and effective strategies for pain management remains a pivotal challenge. By integrating cross-species evidence, this review synthesizes both a functional re-examination of thalamic nuclei in pain and a critical evaluation of targeted neuromodulation strategies, aiming to guide the advancement of precision pain medicine. We emphasize that the sensory and affective dimensions of pain are functionally intertwined and context-dependent, supporting a re-evaluation of thalamic pain pathways as integrated components of cortico-limbic networks rather than segregated sensory or affective relays. Specifically, while ventral and posterior thalamic nuclei (VPTN) contribute not only to sensory discrimination but also to hypersensitivity states, medial and intralaminar nuclei (MITN) integrate sensory-affective signals and facilitate pain-related emotional comorbidities. Our systematic evaluation highlighted several key translational challenges: poorly delineated anatomical boundaries and overlapping microcircuits within thalamic nuclei, undefined stimulation parameter spaces, translational barriers from species differences, and the complex interplay between neuroplasticity and individual differences in pain networks. To address these challenges, we propose a precision neuromodulation framework incorporating high-resolution targeting, multidimensional parameter optimization, cross-species validation, alongside artificial intelligence (AI)-driven adaptive closed-loop systems. This integrated approach may advance chronic pain therapy from generalized symptom control toward mechanism-based and personalized pain therapies.
丘脑在处理急性和慢性疼痛中起着核心作用。然而,确定特定的丘脑目标和有效的疼痛管理策略仍然是一个关键的挑战。通过整合跨物种证据,本文综述了丘脑核在疼痛中的功能重新检查和靶向神经调节策略的批判性评估,旨在指导精准疼痛医学的发展。我们强调疼痛的感觉和情感维度在功能上是交织在一起的,并且依赖于环境,支持将丘脑疼痛通路作为皮质边缘网络的综合组成部分而不是分离的感觉或情感继电器的重新评估。具体来说,丘脑腹侧核和后核(VPTN)不仅参与感觉辨别,还参与超敏状态,而内侧核和层间核(MITN)整合感觉情感信号,并促进疼痛相关的情绪合并症。我们的系统评估强调了几个关键的翻译挑战:丘脑核内解剖边界和重叠微电路的描述不清,刺激参数空间的不确定,物种差异的翻译障碍,以及神经可塑性和疼痛网络个体差异之间复杂的相互作用。为了应对这些挑战,我们提出了一个精确的神经调节框架,包括高分辨率靶向、多维参数优化、跨物种验证以及人工智能(AI)驱动的自适应闭环系统。这种综合方法可以将慢性疼痛治疗从广义症状控制推进到基于机制和个性化的疼痛治疗。

Biophysical approaches to cancer diagnostics: Collagen biomarkers in colorectal cancer 癌症诊断的生物物理方法:结直肠癌中的胶原生物标志物。
IF 14.3 1区 生物学 Q1 BIOLOGY Pub Date : 2026-03-01 Epub Date: 2026-01-29 DOI: 10.1016/j.plrev.2026.01.009

Collagen remodeling in the extracellular matrix drives alterations in the physical, mechanical, and optical properties of tissues, representing a fundamental biophysical hallmark of colorectal cancer (CRC) progression. These changes, reflected in variations in collagen composition, molecular orientation, and cross-linking density, transform tissue stiffness, elasticity, and anisotropy, directly influencing cancer cell behavior and mechanotransduction. Understanding these structural and physical transitions requires analytical methods capable of probing the molecular origins of biomechanical alteration in situ. Spectroscopic and optical methodologies provide high-resolution, label-free detection of the vibrational, optical, and mechanical alteration associated with collagen remodeling. These techniques capture the shifts in molecular vibrational modes, nonlinear optical responses, and scattering anisotropy that arise from collagen fibril alignment, structural disorder, and cross-link formation, thereby connecting molecular architecture to measurable macroscale biomechanics. The integration of multimodal spectroscopy and incorporation of machine learning algorithms further enhance diagnostic performance by resolving complex tissue heterogeneity and improving tumor margin detection. Overall, this review demonstrates how spectroscopic techniques can be applied in the biomedical field for cancer detection by analyzing collagen remodeling and structural alterations.
细胞外基质中的胶原重塑驱动组织的物理、机械和光学特性的改变,代表了结直肠癌(CRC)进展的基本生物物理标志。这些变化反映在胶原组成、分子取向和交联密度的变化上,改变了组织的刚度、弹性和各向异性,直接影响癌细胞的行为和机械转导。理解这些结构和物理转变需要能够探测生物力学变化原位分子起源的分析方法。光谱和光学方法提供高分辨率,无标记检测与胶原蛋白重塑相关的振动,光学和机械改变。这些技术捕获了由胶原纤维排列、结构紊乱和交联形成引起的分子振动模式、非线性光学响应和散射各向异性的变化,从而将分子结构与可测量的宏观生物力学联系起来。多模态光谱的集成和机器学习算法的结合通过解决复杂的组织异质性和改进肿瘤边缘检测进一步提高了诊断性能。总之,本文综述了光谱技术如何应用于生物医学领域,通过分析胶原重塑和结构改变来检测癌症。

On the minimal theory of consciousness implicit in active inference 论主动推理中隐含的最小意识理论。
IF 14.3 1区 生物学 Q1 BIOLOGY Pub Date : 2026-03-01 Epub Date: 2025-11-03 DOI: 10.1016/j.plrev.2025.11.002

The multifaceted nature of subjective experience poses a challenge to the study of consciousness. Traditional neuroscientific approaches often concentrate on isolated facets, such as perceptual awareness or the global state of consciousness and construct a theory around the relevant empirical paradigms and findings. Theories of consciousness are, therefore, often difficult to compare; indeed, there might be little overlap in the phenomena such theories aim to explain. Here, we take a different approach: starting with active inference, a first principles framework for modelling behaviour as (approximate) Bayesian inference, and building up to a minimal theory of consciousness, which emerges from the shared features of computational models derived under active inference. We review a body of work applying active inference models to the study of consciousness and argue that there is implicit in all these models a small set of theoretical commitments that point to a minimal (and testable) theory of consciousness.
主观经验的多面性对意识的研究提出了挑战。传统的神经科学方法通常集中在孤立的方面,如知觉意识或意识的整体状态,并围绕相关的经验范式和发现构建理论。因此,意识理论往往难以比较;事实上,这些理论试图解释的现象可能很少有重叠。在这里,我们采取了不同的方法:从主动推理开始,这是一个将行为建模为(近似)贝叶斯推理的第一原理框架,并建立一个最小的意识理论,该理论来自于在主动推理下导出的计算模型的共同特征。我们回顾了一系列将主动推理模型应用于意识研究的工作,并认为在所有这些模型中都隐含着一小部分理论承诺,这些理论承诺指向一个最小的(和可测试的)意识理论。

The unbearable hardness of inferring being: Comment on “preliminaries to artificial consciousness” by Evers et al. 难以承受的存在推理之难——评埃弗斯等人的“人工意识的初步考察”。

This commentary commends Evers et al.’s multidimensional heuristic for structuring artificial consciousness research while arguing it cannot, as stated, adjudicate the nomological possibility of phenomenal consciousness, which is at stake in current debates. Behavioral–cognitive “profiles” lack a justified principle linking function to experience, and the awareness case study illustrates how externally specified goals can just as well underwrite as-if (pseudo-intentional) control rather than original intentionality. Moreover, the proposed heuristic overlooks that substrate similarity is currently indispensable for justifiably inferring the presence of consciousness beyond the validated case of the adult human brain. Given all this, the framework seems to provide a blueprint for building a more sophisticated philosophical zombie; it does not—and cannot—tell us whether anyone is there.
这篇评论赞扬了埃弗斯等人构建人工意识研究的多维启发式,同时认为,如前所述,它不能判断现象意识的法理可能性,这在当前的辩论中是危险的。行为-认知“概况”缺乏将功能与经验联系起来的合理原则,而意识案例研究说明了外部指定的目标如何同样可以支持假设(伪意图)控制,而不是原始意图。此外,提出的启发式忽略了基质相似性目前对于合理地推断意识的存在是必不可少的,超出了成人大脑的验证案例。考虑到这一切,这个框架似乎为构建一个更复杂的哲学僵尸提供了蓝图;它不能也不能告诉我们那里是否有人。
