Exploring Microtubules and Quantum Computation in Neurons

The chapter discusses the proposition that microtubules in cells might function as significant processing units in the brain, challenging the conventional belief that neurons are solely responsible for cognitive tasks. It delves into the complexity of the brain's structure, synaptic plasticity, and the idea of individual cells potentially acting as supercomputers. The conversation also includes insights into quantum biology, the role of microtubules in information processing, and ongoing research on quantum effects in living cells.
