title: Quantum molecular computer model of the neuron and a pathway to the union of the sciences.
abstract: Cyclic nucleotide injection in neurons shows that cAMP controls a new type of membrane permeability. The neuron response to cAMP has a short delay, unusual bioenergetics and is blocked by drugs binding with the regulatory subunit of protein kinase. These data are interpreted in terms of the hypothesis that the controlling system of the living cell is a molecular (DNA, RNA, protein operators with complementary addresses), holographic (quick changeable lattice--cytoskeleton), quantum (each phonon examines whole lattice), hypersound (with wave length 100-10,000 A that does not destroy molecules) system with an inner point of view (molecular coding of questions and answers about quantum processing). Neither an electron, nor a macroscopic computer has an inner point of view.
