In Minimal Selfhood and the Origins of Consciousness, R.D.V. Glasgow seeks to ground the logical roots of consciousness in what he has previously called the 'minimal self'. The idea is that elementary forms of consciousness are logically dependent not, as is commonly assumed, on ownership of an anatomical brain or nervous system, but on the intrinsic reflexivity that defines minimal selfhood. The aim of the book is to trace the logical pathway by which minimal selfhood gives rise to the possible appearance of consciousness. It is argued that in specific circumstances it thus makes sense to ascribe elementary consciousness to certain predatory single-celled organisms such as amoebae and dinoflagellates as well as to some of the simpler animals. Such an argument involves establishing exactly what those specific circumstances are and determining how elementary consciousness differs in nature and scope from its more complex manifestations.

Fibrosis, characterized by uncontrolled extracellular matrix deposition, is a common phenomenon seen in different organs and tissues, bringing about disastrous influence on the function. Fibrosis can be induced by aging and diseases, such as sarcopenia during aging, renal fibrosis following diabetes, liver fibrosis following non-alcohol fatty liver disease; can be elicited by trauma or surgery, such as shoulder stiffness and elbow stiffness; and can also be a feature of the tumor, in which is also known as epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Currently, anti-fibrosis therapies are investigated broadly, while the complexity of this condition retards the development of effect modalities remarkably. Therefore, a better understanding of the mechanisms of fibrosis-related disorders is of urgent need. Recent decades have witnessed remarkable advancement in multi-omic investigations and the progress of pharmacogenomics. Countless potential targets are unveiled by integrating the data of genomics and pharmacology. Since fibrosis and related disorders have various manifestations at the cellular level, proteomic level, and transcriptional level, integrative analysis is of vital importance in identifying targets. Moreover, the interplay between different cells in fibrotic tissue is also finely described by single-cell sequencing and spatial-transcriptome, et al, greatly broadening the understanding of the progress of fibrosis. Therefore, this research topic aims to study the underlying mechanisms of fibrosis and related diseases with specific attention to molecular targets. We welcome research revealing the mechanisms of fibrosis and studies to identify novel molecules against fibrogenesis.

Biological psychiatry. Neuropsychiatry categories.
Since the beginning of life, all plant and animal kingdoms have been developed or modified based on gravity along with atmospheric composition and solar radiation existing on Earth. Gravity is mainly encoded by the otolithic sensors of the vestibular system but its role has been largely underestimated in favor of the vestibular semicircular canals and reduced to oculomotor and postural coordination. Over the last decade, it has been demonstrated that sensory information provided by the vestibular system is crucial in spatial-memory processes in rats and humans. More recently a role in attention processes has been raised. This topic aims to report and demonstrate the role and integration of vestibular information in cognitive processes in rodent models and human at the behavioral, imaging and electrophysiological levels.

The Routledge Handbook of Media Use and Well-Being serves as the first international review of the current state of this fast-developing area of research. The volume provides a multifaceted perspective on the beneficial as well as the detrimental effects of media exposure on psychological health and well-being. As a "first-mover," it will define the field of media use and well-being and provide an essential resource for research and teaching in this area. The volume is structured along four central considerations: Processes presents concepts that provide a theoretical bridge between media use and well-being, such as psychological need satisfaction, recovery from stress and strain, self-presentation and self-enhancement, or parasocial interactions with media characters, providing a comprehensive understanding of the underlying processes that drive psychological health and well-being through media. Moderators examines both risk factors that promote negative effects on well-being and protective factors that foster positive media effects. Contexts bridges the gap between theory and "real life" by illustrating how media use can influence well-being and satisfaction in very different life domains, covering the full spectrum of everyday life by addressing the public, private, and work spheres. Audiences takes a look at the influence of life phases and life situations on the interplay of media use and well-being, questioning whether various user groups differ with regard to the effects of media exposure. Bringing together the expertise of outstanding international scholars from multiple disciplines, including communication, media psychology, social psychology, clinical psychology, and media education, this handbook sheds new light on the role of media in influencing and affecting emotions.

Background: Interacting with other people involves spatial awareness of one’s own body and the other’s body and viewpoint. In the past, social cognition has focused largely on belief reasoning, which is abstracted away from spatial and bodily representations, while there is a strong tradition of work on spatial and object representation which does not consider social interactions. These two domains have flourished independently. A small but growing body of research examines how awareness of space and body relates to the ability to interpret and interact with others. This also builds on the growing awareness that many cognitive processes are embodied, which could be of relevance for the integration of the social and spatial domains: Online mental transformations of spatial representations have been shown to rely on simulated body movements and various aspects of social interaction have been related to the simulation of a conspecific’s behaviour within the observer’s bodily repertoire. Both dimensions of embodied transformations or mappings seem to serve the purpose of establishing alignment between the observer and a target. In spatial cognition research the target is spatially defined as a particular viewpoint or frame of reference (FOR), yet, in social interaction research another viewpoint is occupied by another’s mind, which crucially requires perspective taking in the sense of considering what another person experiences from a different viewpoint. Perspective taking has been studied in different ways within developmental psychology, cognitive psychology, psycholinguistics, neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience over the last few decades, yet, integrative approaches for channelling all information into a unified account of perspective taking and viewpoint transformations have not been presented so far. Aims: This Research Topic aims to bring together the social and the spatial, and to highlight findings and methods which can unify research across areas. In particular, the topic aims to advance our current theories and set the stage for future developments of the field by clarifying and linking theoretical concepts across disciplines. Scope: The focus of this Research Topic is on the SPATIAL and the SOCIAL, and we anticipate that all submissions will touch on both aspects and will explicitly attempt to bridge conceptual gaps. Social questions could include questions of how people judge another person’s viewpoint or spatial capacities, or how they imagine themselves from different points of view. Spatial questions could include consideration of different physical configurations of the body and the arrangement of different viewpoints, including mental rotation of objects or viewpoints that have social relevance. Questions could also relate to how individual differences (in personality, sex, development, culture, species etc.) influence or determine social and spatial perspective judgements. Many different methods can be used to explore perspective taking, including mental chronometry, behavioural tasks, EEG/MEG and fMRI, child development, neuropsychological patients, virtual reality and more. Bringing together results and approaches from these different domains is a key aim of this Research Topic. We welcome submissions of experimental papers, reviews and theory papers which cover these topics.

The malignant tumor is a major global public health problem threatening human health. At present, association studies can be used to analyze the occurrence and development of tumors. Association studies, such as the classic study of smoking and lung cancer and the popular genome-wide association study (GWAS), form the basis of medical research. These studies provided initial evidence for subsequent mechanistic exploration and functional studies, but could not illustrate a causal relationship. R.A. Fisher first proposed the concept and method of Mendelian randomization (MR) in a 1936 book called “The Design of Experiments”. Based on the principles of Mendelian genetics, he regarded randomly assigned genotypes as "natural randomization experiments" to evaluate the causal effect of a factor on a particular phenotypic trait. Mendelian randomization (MR) is a statistical method based on whole-genome sequencing data(GWAS), which can effectively reduce bias and is used to reveal causality similar to randomized controlled trials (RCT). MR can be used to evaluate causal inference, using genetic variants as instrumental variables to represent specific exposures, infer causal relationships between exposures and outcomes, and transform phenotype-to-phenotype causal studies into genotype studies. The advantage is that an individual's genetic variation precedes the outcome of a disease, which eliminates confounding bias due to reverse causality. Modern bioinformatics techniques can measure genetic variation with high precision, which largely reduces the estimation bias caused by measurement errors.
