This academic paper investigates a novel mechanism for neural synchronization by proposing that the myelin sheath, typically considered an insulator, acts as a cylindrical quantum cavity. Within this cavity, the vibrational spectra of C-H bonds in lipid molecules can generate entangled biophotons through cascade emission. The authors demonstrate, using a theoretical model, that the myelin's structure facilitates significant quantum entanglement, with the degree of entanglement being highest at specific myelin thicknesses that align with biological observations. This research suggests a potential role for quantum information transfer in the nervous system, offering a new perspective on the brain's complex synchronized activity. The findings could potentially link changes in myelin thickness to neurodegenerative diseases through the lens of quantum entanglement.
