You asked...
| Quote | | WTF does being an anesthesiologist have to do with microtubules? |
Here is Dr. Hameroff's answer...
"...As it turned out, the same microtubules running the show in mitosis were running the show in neurons and other cells all the time. |
But when it comes to LTP, there aren't MTs in the dendritic spines, where most of the LTP show is presented.
| Quote | | "He told me "If you want to know what consciousness is, study the mechanism of anesthetics." He also gave me a paper suggesting anesthetics depolymerized microtubules,..." |
Ah, suggesting. Did that turn out to be correct, TP?
| Quote | | And here we are ten years after that. |
Has Hameroff published any new data about MTs in those ten years?
| Quote | | BTW, here is a link on my blog showing microtubules in action during cell division. |
Your point being? Are the microtubules the only thing in action? What mediates cytokinesis?
