Divergent changes in perturbation-induced brain reconfiguration following depression treatment with psilocybin and escitalopram

This brain imaging study examined resting-state fMRI from people with major depressive disorder before and after treatment with psilocybin or escitalopram, using computer models to test how the brain responded to artificial perturbations. It found that psilocybin increased brain reconfiguration under perturbation, while escitalopram decreased it, suggesting different effects on brain flexibility and stability.

Single-nucleus transcriptomics reveals cell type-specific and time-dependent effects of psilocybin and ketamine on gene expression

This mouse study used single-nucleus RNA sequencing to examine how psilocybin and ketamine change gene expression in the medial frontal cortex over time. It found cell type-specific effects, with psilocybin altering genes linked to synaptic plasticity, metabolism and glial function, and its transcriptional response peaking earlier and later than ketamine’s.

A Shared Entropic Axis Spans States of Consciousness Across Pharmacological and Clinical Conditions

This brain imaging study compared fMRI data from psychedelics, modafinil, propofol anaesthesia and schizophrenia, and found that brain activity could be arranged along a single entropy-based axis of consciousness. Propofol sat at the low-entropy end, while psychedelics and schizophrenia were at the high end, with the pattern not explained by average functional connectivity.

Distinct brain responses to psilocybin and escitalopram in depression captured by the Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem

This double-blind randomised controlled trial studied brain scans from people with major depressive disorder treated with psilocybin or escitalopram and found that the two treatments caused opposite changes in brain organisation. Baseline brain measures also helped distinguish who responded to each treatment.

EEG microstate dynamics during psilocybin intoxication relate to acute experience and persisting psychological changes

This double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled crossover study (n=15) in healthy volunteers found that psilocybin altered the timing of EEG brain-state patterns during peak intoxication, with faster switching between states but largely preserved overall state coverage. These changes were linked to the intensity of the acute experience and to self-reported psychological changes 28 days later.

One operator to rule them all: Unifying connectome harmonics, turbulence and complex harmonics in brain dynamics

This theory-building brain imaging study reanalysis used an LSD-related pharmacological perturbation to test whether connectome harmonics, turbulence, and complex harmonics can be described by one shared operator. It found that changes in turbulence and harmonic energy moved together in response to the same structural perturbation.
