Quantum Brain Dynamics. A Possibility of Having a Quantum Interpretation of the Brain

What Quantum Brain Dynamics (QBD) considers is not just these other functions of the brain, this is because they can be well analyzed with the workings of classical mechanics (even though they still play host to a quantum description). It rather considers two specific functions above all else consciousness and memory. QBD falls in line umbrella-covers aspects of the quantum brain analysis such as quantum-consciousness, quantum-mind and quantum-brain. The inspiration that lurks behind the Quantum Interpretation of the Brain (QIB), is traceable to the 1944 article written by E. Schrodinger, What is Life, in which he presents how a living organisms evades decay to equilibrium by the fact of negentropy, as such life which is in its ordered macroscopic state is created (in an environment of disorder), which moves against the second law of thermodynamics. The life that is created, that which is sustained, arises from an interaction that the organism engages in with the environment. This interaction is microscopic, albeit quantum, it is an interaction that underscores the reality of quantum entanglement (which also plays hosts to the superposition of quantum states). The quantum interpretation of the brain is a nascent, yet burgeoning as it might be that necessary tool required for a better articulation and comprehension of the brain.

Can linking the recall system to addiction enable a better understanding of the dopaminergic pathway?

Human addiction, as a learned behaviour, has and is constantly being treated psychologically, with specific and timely interventions from Neuroscience. We endorse that human addiction can receive further boost as regards treatment, when we firmly understand how it works from a quantum scale. This is majorly because the dopaminergic pathway (DP) that is well elaborated in the brain of every addict is connected to the memory pathway. This further implies that the recall process in the brain of the addict, as regards his/her addiction is fully functional in line with the pleasure that arises from the element of his/her addiction. This dopamine-led pathway shows itself as prominent in what pertains to addiction, this is because of the role it plays in reward. As a neurotransmitter, dopamine flickers when reward is in the offing. It should be noted that a full understanding of the dimensions of addiction in the human person has not be attained to, therefore, we seek to add to this ongoing research, by considering excerpts arising from Quantum Field Theory. We are introducing excerpts from QFT, because DP, is an attendant element in the process of reward and motivation. In clear terms, we are alluding that it all begins with the memory.
