Keeping time: could quantum beating in microtubules be the basis for the neural synchrony related to consciousness?

Journal of Integrative Neuroscience June 2014 Travis J A Craddock, Avner Priel, Jack A Tuszynski

This paper discusses the possibility of quantum coherent oscillations playing a role in neuronal signaling. Consciousness correlates strongly with coherent neural oscillations, however the mechanisms by which neurons synchronize are not fully elucidated. Recent experimental evidence of quantum beats in light-harvesting complexes of plants (LHCII) and bacteria provided a stimulus for seeking...
