Cytoskeleton and Consciousness: An Evolutionary Based Review

Abstract: The fields of quantum biology and physics are now starting to unite to solve the mysteries associated with the field of evolutionary biology. One such question is the origination and propagation of consciousness which has always been ambiguous and in order to understand this concept, many theories have been proposed by several philosophers and scientists. This review paper agrees with the idea, that evolution is not a random process but hypothesizes, that its succession was managed by the expanding level of co… Show more

“…The higher order of consciousness has been described as "conscious of being conscious" (Edelman, 2004); consciousness may be hierarchical, with primary, secondary, and tertiary layers. Through consciousness, our primary reality, our actions are planned, accomplished, appraised, and recorded (Pereira, 2015). According to quantum physics, unconsciousness is ever present, but consciousness comes about when particles collapse.…”

“…Studies show that the central nervous system (CNS) supports memory, perception and behaviour (Kandel, 2000). But underlying these processes are seven intracellular signalling pathways which have been constant throughout the process of evolution and thus far support functions in physiology, cell proliferation, cell differentiation and behaviour (Pereira, 2015a;2015b;). At the extreme scales of organization, dynamic self-organizing subcellular components like cytoskeleton and molecular networks, and colonies of organisms perform similar functions in their own contexts (Pires-daSilva and Sommer, 2003;Pereira 2015b;Reddy and Pereira, 2017).…”

Neural signalling is observed as brain waves which tune into the frequency corresponding to their particular task while ignoring irrelevant signals; which is similar to how a radio hones in on different waves to pick up radio stations (Brahmankar et al, 2012).…”

“…Structured matter like the microtubules process information based on the tubulin states at a quantum level. When enough tubulins get entangled to reach a certain threshold, a conscious event occurs which is terminated by the collapse of the wave function which is evident in the evolution of the cytoskeleton (Pereira, 2015c). The microtubules process this information within the wet, noisy environment of the cell by means of the Bandyopadhyay Coherence.…”
