Experimental indications of non-classical brain functions

چکیده

Recent proposals in quantum gravity have suggested that unknown systems can mediate entanglement between two known systems, if and only the mediator itself is non-classical. This approach may be applicable to brain, where speculations about operations consciousness cognition a long history. Proton spins of bulk water, which most likely interfere with any brain function, act as systems. If an exists, then NMR methods based on multiple coherence (MQC) witness. However, there are doubts today's signals contain correlations general, specifically environment. Here, we used witness protocol zero (ZQC) whereby minimised classical circumvent detection limits for correlation. For short repetitive periods, found evoked parts temporal appearance resembled heartbeat-evoked potentials (HEPs). We those had no correlates contrast. Similar HEPs, signal depended conscious awareness. Consciousness-related or electrophysiological NMR. Remarkably, these appeared local properties magnetisation were reduced. Our findings suggest witnessed mediated by consciousness-related functions. Those functions must operate non-classically, would mean

Non-classical indications for cardiac resynchronization therapy.

Based on randomized controlled studies, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is currently indicated in patients with systolic heart failure of New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class III and IV, left ventricular ejection fraction <35% and wide QRS (>120 ms). Most of the enrolled patients were in sinus rhythm, were not previously paced and had mainly LBBB. Thus, there are uncertain...

Trans-catheter aortic valve implantation for non-classical indications.

BACKGROUND Trans-catheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as a novel therapeutic approach for patients with severe tricuspid aortic stenosis (AS) not suitable for aortic valve replacement. OBJECTIVES To describe our initial single-center experience with TAVI in patients with "off-label" indications. METHODS Between August 2008 and December 2011 we performed TAVI in 186 patients...

Characterization of human Sec16B: indications of specialized, non-redundant functions

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) represents the entry point into the secretory pathway and from here newly synthesized proteins and lipids are delivered to the Golgi. The selective cargo export from the ER is mediated by COPII-assembly at specific sites of the ER, the so-called transitional ER (tER). The peripheral membrane protein Sec16, first identified in yeast, localizes to transitional ER an...

Acetylcholinesterase: 'classical' and 'non-classical' functions and pharmacology.

The synaptic enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) terminates transmission at cholinergic synapses by rapidly hydrolysing acetylcholine. It is anchored within the synaptic cleft by a highly specialized anchoring device in which catalytic subunit tetramers assemble around a polyproline II helix. AChE is the target of nerve agents, insecticides and therapeutic drugs, in particular the first generati...

Beyond iron: non-classical biological functions of bacterial siderophores.

Bacteria secrete small molecules known as siderophores to acquire iron from their surroundings. For over 60 years, investigations into the bioinorganic chemistry of these molecules, including fundamental coordination chemistry studies, have provided insight into the crucial role that siderophores play in bacterial iron homeostasis. The importance of understanding the fundamental chemistry under...
