Chimera states in neuronal networks: A review
Publication date: Available online 12 September 2018Source: Physics of Life ReviewsAuthor(s): Soumen Majhi, Bidesh K.Bera, Dibakar Ghosh, Matjaž PercAbstractNeuronal networks, similar to many other complex systems, self-organize into fascinating emergent states that are not only visually compelling, but also vital for the proper functioning of the brain. Synchronous spatiotemporal patterns, for example, play an important role in neuronal communication and plasticity, and in various cognitive processes. Recent research has shown that the coexistence of coherent and incoherent states, known as chimera states or simply chime...

DNA melting and energetics of the double helix
Publication date: August 2018Source: Physics of Life Reviews, Volume 25Author(s): Alexander Vologodskii, Maxim D. Frank-KamenetskiiAbstractStudying melting and energetics of the DNA double helix has been one of the major topics of molecular biophysics over the past six decades. The main objective of this article is to overview the current state of the field and to emphasize that there are still serious gaps in our understanding of the issue. We start with a concise description of the commonly accepted theoretical model of the DNA melting. We then concentrate on studies devoted to the comparison with experiment of theoretic...

An integrative review of the enjoyment of sadness associated with music
Publication date: August 2018Source: Physics of Life Reviews, Volume 25Author(s): Tuomas Eerola, Jonna K. Vuoskoski, Henna-Riikka Peltola, Vesa Putkinen, Katharina SchäferAbstractThe recent surge of interest towards the paradoxical pleasure produced by sad music has generated a handful of theories and an array of empirical explorations on the topic. However, none of these have attempted to weigh the existing evidence in a systematic fashion. The present work puts forward an integrative framework laid out over three levels of explanation – biological, psycho-social, and cultural – to compare and integrate the existing ...
