A quantum field theoretical formulation of an interaction between the radiation field and the electric dipole field of intracellular and extracellular water in perimembranous dendritic compartments is proposed. The intercellular spaces filled mostly with water are shown to be not just a filler but a proper substrate for dendritic processing composed of a boson condensation of evanescent photons. Macroscopic ordered dynamics of the electric dipoles of water in the perimembranous region immediately adjacent to dendritic membranes provides interactions with the radiation field to produce evanescent photons that ensure that the critical temperature of the boson condensation can be higher than the body temperature. Thus, superconducting phenomena can take place. Such a high-temperature boson condensate of evanescent photons can be understood as a physical substrate for distributed saltatory processing in dendritic arborizations. Memory storage can be understood in terms of processing involving the ionic coating of the dynamically ordered structure of water facilitated by the boson condensate of evanescent photons.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
