Michael Conrad describes “funneling” of thermal energy, and quantized couplings of energy and conformation (Davydov soliton) has been suggested and discussed for many years. Herbert Fröhlich, an early contributor to the understanding of superconductivity, predicted quantum coherence in living cells (based on earlier work by Oliver Penrose and Lars Onsager (1956). g. proteins within a polarized membrane, subunits within an electret polymer like microtubules) undergo coherent conformational excitations if thermal energy is supplied.
Will self-collapse (Orch OR) and elicit a conscious event. 7. Each brain neuron is estimated to contain about 107 tubulins (Yu & Bass 1994). If, say, 10 percent of each neuron’s tubulins became coherent, then Orch OR of tubulins within roughly 20,000 (gap-junction connected) neurons would be required for a 25 msec conscious event, 5,000 neurons for a 100 msec event, or 1,000 neurons for a 500 msec event, etc. 8. Each instantaneous Orch OR event binds superposed information encoded in microtubules whose net displacement reaches threshold at a particular moment: a variety of different modes of information is thus bound into a “now” event.
In the 19th century Claude Bernard studied this phenomenon, which he called cytoplasmic streaming, and discovered it was inhibited by exposure to the anesthetic gas chloroform. In more complex, asymmetrical cells like neurons, transport and motion utilize polymerization of microtubules, in conjunction with actin gelation. The particular character of actin gel depends on actin cross-linking. g. those induced by the actin cross-linker avidin) are solid and can be deformed by an applied force without any response (Wacchstock et al.
