Neuronal Microtubules and Radiofrequency Waves: The Quantum Core of Human Consciousness, Memory, and Pathway to Memory Enhancement/Recovery.
International journal of molecular sciences July 7, 2026 Gary W Arendash
A unifying theory of consciousness and memory is proposed, centered on neuronal microtubules (MTs). The theory combines the Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch OR) theory and the Environmental-Induced Decoherence (EID) theory. For consciousness, MT vibrations and superposition qubit (SPQ) formation/entanglement occur in Layer V of the cerebral cortex, with continuous collapse due to EID rather than objective reduction. For memory, Orch OR is modified to include endogenous radiofrequency (RF) vibrations from MTs forming a vibrational fabric with MT crystalline water cores, SPQ formation for short-term memory, and objective reduction in cortical Layers II/III for long-term storage via Quantum Darwinism.
