N,N-dimethyltryptamine effects on connectome harmonics, subjective experience and comparative psychedelic experiences

Researchers studied how DMT, a powerful psychedelic drug, changes brain activity patterns and how these changes relate to what people experience. Using advanced brain imaging and network analysis, they found that DMT shifts brain activity away from large-scale network patterns toward smaller, more diverse patterns. Importantly, these brain changes directly tracked with how intensely participants reported experiencing the drug’s effects moment-to-moment.

Characterization of spatio-temporal dynamics of the constrained network of the filamentous fungus Podospora anserina using a geomatics-based approach

Researchers studied how a fungus called Podospora anserina adapts its growth pattern when exposed to challenging conditions like nutrient scarcity, temperature changes, and bright light. Using a novel computer mapping technique borrowed from geography, they discovered that fungi don’t just grow slower under stress—they reorganize how densely they pack their filaments. This geomatics approach revealed that different stresses cause different patterns of network densification, providing new insights into fungal survival strategies.
