Title: Controversial 'Quantum Consciousness' Hypotheses Suggest Cure for Alzheimers'. Post by: Jonnie Goodboy on June 03, 2012, 07:41:16 am Very Short Abstract; from: Scientists Claim Brain Memory Code Cracked http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/03/120309103701.htm Mar. 9, 2012. "Microtubules and CaMKII are ubiquitous in eukaryotic biology, extremely rich in brain neurons, and capable of connecting membrane and cytoskeletal levels of information processing. Decoding and stimulating microtubules could enable therapeutic intervention in a host of pathological processes, for example Alzheimer's disease in which microtubule disruption plays a key role, and brain injury in which microtubule activities can repair neurons and synapses. Hameroff, senior author on the study, said: "Many neuroscience papers conclude by claiming their findings may help understand how the brain works, and treat Alzheimer's, brain injury and various neurological and psychiatric disorders. This study may actually do that. We may have a glimpse of the brain's biomolecular code for memory." |
