Nerve fibres in the brain could generate quantum entanglement

Recent calculations suggest that nerve fibres in the brain may be capable of generating pairs of particles linked by quantum entanglement. This phenomenon could provide insights into how various parts of the brain synchronize their activities, which is essential for its overall function. According to Yong-Cong Chen from Shanghai University, the simultaneous firing of millions of neurons during brain activity necessitates coordination among even distant cells. This has led researchers to consider whether such coordination might be explained by quantum interactions, a concept famously referred to by Einstein as "spooky action at a distance." If experimental evidence supports these calculations, it could significantly enhance our understanding of brain function and the underlying mechanisms that enable neural synchronization.
