Exploring Consciousness with an Anesthesiologist Ep 21 - Is Consciousness a Quantum Symphony?

In this video, a board-certified anesthesiologist and neuro-critical-care physician, Christopher Voss, MD, takes you on a journey through the latest neuroscience and emerging quantum theories to explore what flips consciousness on and off under anesthesia. You’ll learn about the brain’s hidden “default ascending arousal network,” how anesthetics disrupt global neural communication, and bold new research suggesting microtubules and myelin-generated biphotons may form a quantum “Wi-Fi” that synchronizes distant neurons Topic in Script Reference Direct Link 1 Quantum biphotons in myelin Liu, Z., Chen, Y.-C., & Ao, P.
