[HTML][HTML] Consciousness, cognition and the neuronal cytoskeleton–A new paradigm needed in neuroscience

S Hameroff - Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022 - frontiersin.org
Viewing the brain as a complex computer of simple neurons cannot account for
consciousness nor essential features of cognition. Single cell organisms with no synapses …

The century-old picture of a nerve spike is wrong: filaments fire, before membrane

S Ghosh, P Singh, J Manna, K Saxena… - … & Integrative Biology, 2022 - Taylor & Francis
In 1907, Lapicque proposed that an electric field passes through the neuronal membrane
and transmits a signal. Subsequently, a “snake curve” or spike was used to depict the means …

Cytoskeletal filaments deep inside a neuron are not silent: they regulate the precise timing of nerve spikes using a pair of vortices

P Singh, P Sahoo, K Saxena, JS Manna, K Ray… - Symmetry, 2021 - mdpi.com
Hodgkin and Huxley showed that even if the filaments are dissolved, a neuron's membrane
alone can generate and transmit the nerve spike. Regulating the time gap between spikes is …

Simultaneity of consciousness with physical reality: the key that unlocks the mind-matter problem

J Sanfey - Frontiers in Psychology, 2023 - frontiersin.org
The problem of explaining the relationship between subjective experience and physical
reality remains difficult and unresolved. In most explanations, consciousness is …

All basics that are wrong with the current concept of time crystal: learning from the polyatomic time crystals of protein, microtubule, and neuron

K Saxena, P Singh, P Sahoo, S Ghosh… - Proceedings of Trends …, 2022 - Springer
The time crystal concepts introduced by Winfree in the 1960s and Wilczek in 2012 have
identical definitions. If a perturbed system's inherent clock spontaneously runs a new clock …

[HTML][HTML] Filaments and four ordered structures inside a neuron fire a thousand times faster than the membrane: theory and experiment

P Singh, P Sahoo, S Ghosh, K Saxena… - Journal of Integrative …, 2021 - imrpress.com
The current action potential paradigm considers that all components beneath the neuron
membrane are inconsequential. Filamentary communication is less known to the ionic signal …

Quantum spin models for numerosity perception

J Yago Malo, GM Cicchini, MC Morrone, ML Chiofalo - Plos one, 2023 - journals.plos.org
Humans share with animals, both vertebrates and invertebrates, the capacity to sense the
number of items in their environment already at birth. The pervasiveness of this skill across …

Generation of electromagnetic field by microtubules

J Pokorný, J Pokorný, J Vrba - International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 - mdpi.com

based on the internal coherent electromagnetic field. The electromagnetic field is supposed …

Could there be an experimental way to link consciousness and quantum computations of brain microtubules?

J Avila, J Marco, G Plascencia-Villa, VP Bajic… - Frontiers in …, 2024 - frontiersin.org
Using mathematical analyses, Penrose proposed a relation between consciousness
moments and quantum computations occurring in the microtubules (MTs) of the brain. It was …
