Cell Microtubules as Cavities: Quantum Coherence and Energy Transfer?
N. E. Mavromatos
A model is presented for dissipationless energy transfer in cell microtubules due to quantum coherent states. The model is based on conjectured (hydrated) ferroelectric properties…
Ferroelectrics and their possible involvement in Biology
N. E. Mavromatos, D. V. Nanopoulos, I. Samaras +1
We present the main properties of ferroelectricity, with emphasis given to a specific family of hydrated ferroelectric crystals, which can serve as model systems for corresponding…
Quantum Mechanics in Cell Microtubules: Wild Imagination or Realistic Possibility?
N. E. Mavromatos, D. V. Nanopoulos
We focus on potential mechanisms for `energy-loss-free' transport along the cell microtubules, which could be considered as realizations of Fröhlich's ideas on the role of solitons…
Microtubules: The neuronic system of the neurons?
N. E. Mavromatos, D. V. Nanopoulos
In this talk we review recent work on integrable models for Microtubule (MT) networks, subneural paracrystalline cytosceletal structures, which seem to play a fundamental role in t…
On a possible connection of non-critical strings to certain aspects of quantum brain function
N. E. Mavromatos, D. V. Nanopoulos
We review certain aspects of brain function which could be associated with non-critical (Liouville) string theory. In particular we simulate the physics of brain microtubules (MT)…
