Consciousness and quantum physics explore deep connections, with theories suggesting quantum phenomena like superposition and entanglement in the brain's microtubules (like Penrose-Hameroff ) might explain consciousness's complex, non-local nature, challenging classical neuroscience's neuron-centric views . While mainstream neuroscience explains consciousness through classical neural networks , quantum theories propose deeper, potentially universal interconnectedness, though these ideas remain speculative, lack definitive proof, and face challenges like quantum decoherence in warm brains. Consciousness and Quantum Physics in the Interpretation of Reality
A previously unknown lymphatic outflow route has been identified deep within the human brain. This newly mapped structure, surrounding the middle meningeal artery, may help explain how the brain naturally clears waste, offering insights into aging and neurodegenerative diseases. The " Cleanup Hub" : Researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina used NASA-developed real-time MRI to identify a major drainage point along the middle meningeal artery . The Brain Has a ‘Drainage Tunnel’ The discovery, made through dynamic MRI imaging and postmortem tissue analysis, reveals a slow-moving fluid flow in the dura mater consistent with lymphatic drainage. Researchers say this could redefine how we understand brain waste clearance and immune system interaction. Brain drainage has remained a mystery for decades. The brain lacks traditional lymph nodes, yet it must remove waste products from cerebrospinal and interstitial fluids. Recent work has challenged the idea of the brain ...
