Quantum physics motivated neurobiology /

This research addresses the question of what role might quantum phenomena play in the brain. Recent progress in understanding brain function in terms of its basic cellular and subcellular (microtubules) components will be discussed. A preliminary model for the way memory operates will be presented....

520 |a This research addresses the question of what role might quantum phenomena play in the brain. Recent progress in understanding brain function in terms of its basic cellular and subcellular (microtubules) components will be discussed. A preliminary model for the way memory operates will be presented. The engram i.e. the functional and structural change in the brain representing an enduring memory trace will be identified at the molecular level. Experimental work on Drosophila will be presented, where we seek to directly identify structural changes in the fly brain as a result of memory encoding. Our new model is a result of an orchestrated effort, a collaboration between neurobiology and quantum physics at both the theoretical and experimental levels.
