Abstract

Bu makalede beyindeki süperiletkenlik olgusu, süperiletkenliğin bazı özelliklerinden temel alınarak incelenmiştir. Hidrojen bazlı bileşiklerin ortam sıcaklığı ve basıncında süperiletken olma olasılığı, süperiletkenlik ile yüksek oranda su yani hidrojen içeren canlı organizmalar arasında bir analoji kurulmasına olanak sağlamıştır. Bu nedenle beyindeki nöronlarda bulunan mikrotübül yapılarında meydana gelen süperiletkenlik olgusu ayrıntılı olarak incelenmiş ve böylece beynin kuantum mekaniksel özellikleri açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır. Bilgisayar belleği gibi işlev görme davranışı, deoksiribonükleik asit hasarını onarma rolü, beyne kuantum mekaniksel davranış kazandırma özelliği nedeniyle; mikrotübüller çok ilginç organellerdir. Bu bağlamda süperiletkenlik, kuantum dolaşıklığı ve bozonik durum gibi olağanüstü özellikleriyle uzun süreli hafıza, empati ve bilinç açısından insana yol gösterici olabilir
