Scientists have detected electrical patterns in fungi that resemble a 50-word language.

The recent study, published in Royal Society Open Science, recorded electrical signals passing through fungal hyphae — structures used to absorb nutrients.

Using tiny electrodes, researchers observed pulses of electricity that clustered into patterns resembling a vocabulary.

These signals may allow fungi to communicate about food availability or injury, providing a fascinating glimpse into their complex biological networks.

The COMT (catechol-O-methyltransferase)gene codes for the essential COMT enzyme that is involved in the inactivation of catecholamines such as dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and catechol estrogens.

Scientific research has demonstrated that a common mutation in the COMT locus results in the replacement of the amino acid valine with methionine at position 158 in the enzyme. This causes a dramatic reduction in the enzyme’s ability to metabolize these neurotransmitters and catechol estrogens.
