title: Is quantum brain dynamics involved in some neuropsychiatric disorders?
abstract: In this paper we review the evidence for quantum phenomena underlying neuropsychiatric disorders. Existing data can be explained only by resorting to non-local correlations within brain activity, such as the ones predicted by quantum theory. Such a situation suggests that perhaps a quantum description may be the best description of interrelationships between neural and cognitive phenomena.
