Quantum aspects of brain activity and the role of consciousness.

摘要: Abstract The relationship of brain activity to conscious intentions is considered on the basis functional microstructure cerebral cortex. Each incoming nerve impulse causes emission transmitter molecules by process exocytosis. Since exocytosis a quantal phenomenon presynaptic vesicular grid with probability much less than 1, we present quantum mechanical model for it based tunneling trigger mechanism. Consciousness manifests itself in mental intentions. The consequent voluntary actions become effective momentary increases thousands synapses each pyramidal cell selection.
