Controversial Theory of Consciousness Revisited:

Discovery of Quantum Vibrations in 'Microtubules' Inside Brain Neurons

Science World Report |

A review and update of a controversial theory about consciousness deriving

from fine-scale interactions between internal structures of brain cells is supported by recent discoveries of quantum vibrations in the scaffolding inside neurons, says Stuart Hameroff, director of the UA's Center for Consciousness Studies, in a review

article he co-authored with the eminent British mathematician Sir Roger Penrose.
