Title: Are microtubules phase-dependent dipole oscillators?
Post by: smart on 03/08/2017 10:43:28
The biophotonic oscillations in neuronal microtubules are poorly understood.  I believe the biophotonic emissions in polar microtubules cavities may channel quantum informations via a phase-dependent dipole lattice.

biophotonic oscillations in neuronal microtubules
A lot of your neurones (and their neuronal microtubules) reside inside your opaque skull.
- This means that they are not being stimulated by photons, and so presumably don't work by the method described in your theory?
- Or do you mean that neurones inside your skull are emitting photons, and lighting up the inside of your skull like an underground disco?

I don't think either speculation sheds any light on the operation of nerves or consciousness.

On the other hand, introduction of Green Fluorescent Protein from jellyfish into neurons by means of genetic engineering techniques has proved illuminating (https://www.google.com.au/search?q=gfp+neurons&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjqoe_B67rVAhXBxbwKHYVTDCIQ_AUICigB&biw=1482&bih=637) to researchers studying the brain.

Yes. Google up the term "biophoton".
It makes sense to me that biophotonic emissions inside neurons can encode neuroholographic informations (mental imagery) using a optical (quantum) channel, the microtubular dipole oscillator.

I see Wikipedia has an article on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biophoton

I am a bit surprised that biological processes should produce ultraviolet light - most enzyme-catalysed biological processes are more efficient than producing UV photons. Especially since UV causes cellular damage.

And these processes are supposedly produced by plants, which lack a neural system.

Google images bring up a variety of things like Kirilian photography, and photonic communication from brain to brain (through two skulls).

I don't see how a microtubule can be a dipole oscillator at UV frequencies.

The polar cavity inside a microtubule (tubulin) is a heterodimer producing ultra-weak (UV) biophotonic emissions in response to electrical activity of the brain. See: https://arxiv.org/vc/arxiv/papers/1012/1012.3371v1.pdf

Is the tubulin dipole moment phase-dependent?

what is a tubulin heterodimer and how exactly does it regulate biophotonic emission?
