Abstract

This article explores the potential link between consciousness and quantum computations in brain microtubules. The authors discuss the hypothesis proposed by Penrose, which suggests that there is a connection between brain microtubules and consciousness through the entangled stage of delocalized p electrons. They provide information on the dynamics and composition of brain microtubules, as well as the role they play in synaptic vesicle delivery and signal transmission. The article also delves into the concept of consciousness and its potential biological and physical bases. Finally, the authors discuss the entangled stage and the role of delocalized p electrons in this process. The document provides a comprehensive list of sources for library patrons conducting research on topics such as consciousness, Alzheimer's disease, and quantum cognition.
