What is the relationship between quantum mechanics and cognitive neuroscience?

Background and Aim: quantum physics scientists suggest that the laws of quantum mechanics may have influence on the consciousness. cognitive neuroscientists are fully aware about the ion exchange, action potential. of course, we still do not fully understand how things like color, imagination or love are formed in the brain, for example if you pick your finger with a needle or otherwise feel pain free nerve endings in the injured site are stimulated and an electric current or action potential is formed and how it is carried to the brain but the explanation given by cognitive science as to why you feel pain is insufficient or in the same way. the insufficiency of these answers no doubt arises from the insufficiency of the methods used by cognitive science. MRI and PET give information about the brain as a whole. but here a gap up, comprising the spatiotemporal level below milliseconds and dendrite synapse dimensions. cognitive science has no method to examine this level. this scale of space is the domain of quantum mechanics. functional brain imaging methods have enabled us to see and learn that the basis of many illnesses lies at the level of nerve cell transmitters like depression or personal disorders. while these techniques may not open a direct road to our understanding of the consciousness. what we need is an approach that will bring the two theories together and the one to do this is the favorite of modern science quantum mechanics. there is evidence that the basic units may be microtubular tubulins or the spiny processing on dendrites. the point of view of quantum physics an ion has an effect not only by passing through one ion channel. rather than passing through single ion channel it also has an effect on neighboring ion channels while from the perspective of cognitive neuroscience an ion passes through only one ion channel. in addition the tunneling of quantum mechanics may become operative when neurotransmitters are released at chemical synapses or when ions cross the cell membrane this tunneling may be responsible for our continuous train of thought. Methods: this article is based on searching reputable databases like science direct Results: The purpose of this research is to discuss whether cognitive science needs quantum mechanics to better understand the mind and consciousness and overall brain function Conclusion: further research into the common issues of quantum mechanics and neuroscience and advances in quantum measurement methods can give valuable results in future
