Hello everyone,
Recently, I have heard that quantum physics can effect on the activities of the human brain, especially in the level of neurons and synapses! I want to know that is it an academic reference for this claim? Or it is just a claiming such as other pseudosciences in the quantum theory!
I want to say thank you in advance for your kind support!
Unfortunately, I haven't come across papers on explicit proofs of quantum effects occuring in the human brain, but there are papers which link mental disorders and quantum theory. Most of them are discussed in this review:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4423156/
P.S. Also, quantum mechanics could affect the human brain in a particular way which is evidenced by Steven Weinberg:
"A year or so ago, while Philip Candelas (of the physics department at Texas) and I were waiting for an elevator, our conversation turned to a young theorist who had been quite promising as a graduate student and who had then dropped out of sight. I asked Phil what had interfered with the ex-student’s research. Phil shook his head sadly and said, “He tried to understand quantum mechanics.”"
Hope attached one are beneficial for your investigation. Regards, Mustafa
