On a possible connection of non-critical strings to certain aspects of quantum brain function

2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/93171We review certain aspects of brain function which could be associated with non-critical (Liouville) string theory. In particular we simulate the physics of brain microtubules (MT) by using a (completely integrable) non-critical string, we discuss the collapse of the wave function as a result of quantum gravity effects due to abrupt conformational changes of the MT protein dimers, and we propose a new mechanism for memory coding.Invited talk by D.V.
