In my blog posts I have provided data that suggests how nonmaterial wave forms may act to trigger the transmission of encoded information within spike trains of action potentials across synaptic networks through quantum tunneling. It is a process that would involve electron transfers within ionic channel and synaptic vesicle protein components that would release neural transmitters from vesicle pores to traverse synaptic clefts and stimulate action potentials at postsynaptic structures. I have discussed this process in detail in my books and in several blog posts, highlighted in the blog series entitled “Waves in Our Brains.” In more recent posts I have presented data that indicates the generation of wave forms by the immaterial cognitive mind that transmit encoded information to and through receptor synaptic networks. Investigators in neurophysiology are getting closer to confirming dualist interaction between the immaterial mind and the material components of the brain’s synaptic networks.
I refer the reader to an article by Alexandra Pinto Castellanos entitled “Wave to Pulse Generation. From Oscillatory Synapse to Train of Action Potentials,” October 18, 2018. In the article the author posits how neurons have the capacity to transform information from a digital signal at the dendrites of presynaptic terminals to an analog wave at the synaptic cleft and back to a digital pulse when the acquired voltage for the generation of an action potential is achieved at the postsynaptic neuron. The author proposes that the action potential signals are smoothed at the synaptic cleft to create an oscillatory wave with the same frequency as the originating action potential train. She states, “Once the wave has acquired enough amplification after a process of synchronization, the postsynaptic axon responds to this [analog] wave input by generating a [postsynaptic digital] pulse train” with the same frequency but less amplitude. The result is the transmission of the same information flow frequency through a synaptic network.
Detail is presented by the author to explain the process. I note that there is no consideration of a nonmaterial wave form in the process, which I propose functions by quantum tunneling within specific synaptic structures. Rather an electrical signal is converted to a chemical oscillatory wave within the synaptic cleft that is subsequently converted back to the electrical signal of an action potential.
I call the reader’s attention to this particular article to show how waves are now being considered to account for synaptic transmission. It is a challenging problem, especially to understand how the immaterial mind can and does affect the material mechanisms of the synapse. I will be posting additional blogs as I obtain studies that are investigating this complex process by which specified information is transmitted through the human brain.
