Nerve fibres in the brain can generate pairs of particles that are linked by quantum entanglement – if supported by experimental observations, this phenomenon could explain how millions of cells in the brain synchronize their activity to enable the brain to function.
“When the brain is active, millions of neurons fire simultaneously.” Yongkong Chen The study was published at Shanghai University in China. This research requires cells to coordinate their timing even when they are far apart, but what mechanism is used? “If evolutionary forces were looking for convenient behavior even at long distances, quantum entanglement could be the answer…”
