ATHENS, 74 A (1999) | | Subject: | Quantum Physics; Disordered Systems and Neural Networks; Biological Physics | quant-ph cond-mat.dis-nn hep-ph physics.bio-ph | | Abstract: | In order to create a novel model of memory and brain function, we focus our approach on the sub-molecular (electron), molecular (tubulin) and macromolecular (microtubule) components of the neural cytoskeleton. Due to their size and geometry, these systems may be approached using the principles of quantum physics. We identify quantum-physics derived mechanisms conceivably underlying the integrated yet differentiated aspects of memory encoding/recall as well as the molecular basis of the engram. We treat the tubulin molecule as the fundamental computation unit (qubit) in a quantum-computational network that consists of microtubules (MTs), networks of MTs and ultimately entire neurons and neural networks. We derive experimentally testable predictions of our quantum brain hypothesis and perform experiments on these. | | Source: | arXiv, quant-ph/0007088 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
