And from the same study: spatial variations in ALFF, fALFF, ReHo and Hurst exponent: - ALFF, fALFF, ReHo: higher values in the occipital lobe - Hurst exponent: higher values in the occipital & frontal lobe

Mitochondrial stress (GDF-15) is reduced in Parkinson's disease patients after psilocybin administration (Bradley et al.: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…) This supports our hypothesis that #psychedelics affect mitochondria (journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs…)

Important new study on the effect of LSD on brain hemodynamics; McCulloch (@D_E_McCulloch) et al.: nature.com/articles/s41593-0… • Widespread CBF increase • Increased ICA flow • GCOR decrease Strong indication that we need to reinterpret past fMRI psychedelic neuroimaging studies...

How do protons move from respiratory complexes to ATP synthase? A new study (cell.com/biophysj/fulltext/S…) predicts that cardiolipin "functions as a highly efficient, quasi-two-dimensional nanoscale antenna that captures & rapidly channels protons directly to ATP synthase"

A new study (Yang et al., 2026; biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…) reveals a quantum state inside living mitochondria: Intact mitochondria seemingly act as optical microcavities, forming a 71 THz polaritonic state via light-matter coupling. Linkt to ATP production. @MitoPsychoBio

A few years ago (sciencedirect.com/science/ar…), I proposed that mitochondria utilize 2 physical energy transmission mechanisms: electrical/electrochemical & optical, with potential relevance for long-range intracellular & cell-to-cell signaling.

Replying to @FScholkmann @MitoPsychoBio
Interestingly, the famous 2004 work by Thar & Kühl (sciencedirect.com/science/ar…) shows that, in principle, there could be long-range interactions between individual mitochondria within the 300-800 nm wavelength range, treating mitochondria as single-mode optical waveguides.

There is a significant lipid depletion (ether lipids, plasmalogens & cholesteryl esters) at baseline & after exercise in ME/CFS. (Christopoulos et al., 2026, ovid.com/jnls/acsm-msse/full…). This points to delayed aerobic recovery & persistent metabolic dysfunction underlying PEM #MECFS

New finding: The spleen plays a key role in regulating platelet activity by clearing hyperactivated platelets from the bloodstream (Laun et al., 2026, science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…). "... the spleen is a key modulator of thrombosis risk ..."

Overturning decades of scientific consensus, new research reveals that the brain actually develops as 2 separate, parallel organs (the forebrain/midbrain & the hindbrain) originating from distinct progenitor cells (Jokhai et al., 2026, nature.com/articles/s41593-0…)
