It is not off-topic, if you include "micro-tubes" (or what were they
called again,those bundled small atomic sized tubes of carbon).
These are supposed to be inside every cell of the body,
and appear very frequent in neurons. Besides that the little tubes
called
DNA-molecules are also small enough.

The quantum states of many of these tubes may work together, and
increase the area that depends on "quantum randomness".
Especially if they have the same direction and form.
It is then more likely that "the quantumstate" will then be shared
among the many tubes.

But then again, it is not "nice" to talk about quantum-effects in
this newsgroup, because almost no neuro-scientist will be able
to understand what kind of effects this may have.

Greetings,
