Summary: Modern evolutionary game theory can expose and clarify the causal structure of evolutionary processes by breaking nonlinear models into intuitive additive components and using partial derivatives with causal meaning. This approach formalizes the link between evolutionary game theory and causal modeling, utilizing concepts from the past century of research. It has the potential to provide insights into the causal relationships in evolutionary processes.

Summary: The study found that during the trust generation stage, higher frontocentral beta band activity related to cognitive inhibition was associated with trust choices at both item level and individual level. Additionally, frontocentral beta band oscillation after reciprocity feedback had a stronger predictive effect on trust choices compared to betrayal feedback and distrust choices.

Summary: This article integrates prospect theory into an evolutionary game model of the local government health departments, medical institutions, and patients to explore the specific influencing mechanism of the psychological perceived value. Through the introduction of a stochastic evolutionary game model, the system promotion under different medical cultures is discussed in detail. The results indicate that financial subsidies, participation in the hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system, and the recovery rate in primary hospitals are key factors influencing the game system's evolution.

Summary: This study presents a method for studying evolutionary dynamics in populations with complex and heterogeneous structures. By using easily interpretable demographic measures, the long-term outcomes of evolution can be analyzed. The method can be applied to various evolutionary update mechanisms and extends the structure-coefficient theorem to better understand the mutation-selection balance under different conditions. The study applies this method to examine the production and distribution of social goods in spatially heterogeneous populations, revealing that the outcome of selection depends on the nature of the social good, spatial topology, and mutation frequency.

Summary: Retrieved memories of past events are often inaccurate. The scenario construction model suggests that only the main information of an event is stored in memory and missing details are constructed using semantic information. This study used virtual reality to provide behavioral evidence for semantic construction and introduced new memory tests. The findings support the predictions of the scenario construction model.

Summary: People are more likely to engage in suboptimal behaviors under stress, such as overeating and short-sighted financial decision-making. Traditional dual-process models suggest that stress impairs goal-directed behavior, leading to reliance on habitual behavior. However, a conceptual replication study found that stressed participants were sensitive to outcome values when the outcomes became aversive, suggesting that suboptimal behavior under stress may not always be habitual.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of perceived social exclusion without accompanying cortisol increase on empathy in women with BPD and healthy women. The findings showed that women with BPD reported lower emotional empathy for positive emotions, but not for negative emotions. Additionally, emotional empathy in women with BPD seems to be more sensitive to the effects of stress or ambiguous social situations.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate whether students' psychobiological stress responses can be enhanced in the context of anatomical online learning and how increased physiological parameters correlate with characteristics of learning experiences in a digital learning environment. The results showed that compared to passive online learning, students engaged in the interaction-enhanced version of online learning displayed a significantly reduced Heart Rate Variability, along with a strong increase in salivary cortisol and salivary alpha-amylase activity. These findings demonstrate that the physiological arousal of students engaged in online learning can be enhanced via interactive teaching methods and highlight the correlation between higher physiological responses and elementary criteria of learning experience such as engagement and attention.

Summary: Repeated exposure to chronic stress can impair cognitive functions such as long-term memory and navigation. It is still unclear whether chronic stress affects path integration, a navigational strategy that relies on the functioning of grid cells in the entorhinal cortex. This study aimed to investigate the association between chronic stress and path integration performance, and the results suggest a potential impairment of path integration due to chronic stress.

Summary: Acute stress can either enhance or impair emotion regulation (ER) performances. Timing of the ER task relative to stress exposure is a moderating factor, with delayed cortisol increases improving ER performances, while rapid sympathetic nervous system (SNS) actions opposing such effects via cognitive impairments.

Summary: The problematic use of pornography (PPU) is a phenotype of compulsive sexual behavior disorder. Stress plays a central role in dysregulated behaviors, acting as both a cause and consequence. A study involving 99 heterosexual males found that early childhood trauma, chronic stress, acute stress responses, emotion regulation strategies, and coping were associated with PPU symptoms. Alterations in neural stress circuits resulting from childhood trauma and chronic stress may interact with reward and executive control circuits. Coping with acute, chronic, and past stressors should be incorporated into treatment approaches.

Summary: Neural representations are internal brain states that model the external world or its features. Memory traces allow the brain to activate representations of past experiences even in the absence of sensory input. This review explores the nature of neural memory representations and how cognitive neuroscience methods, particularly neuroimaging, can assess them. The analysis of neural representations provides insights into their structure and different formats using techniques such as representational similarity analysis (RSA) and deep neural networks (DNNs). Multiple recent studies demonstrate the measurement and investigation of memory representations, revealing format shifts from visual to semantic and the impact of affective evaluations in episodic memories. Ultimately, the analysis of neural representations enhances our understanding of human memory.
