Abstract:
Understanding conscious experience requires looking beyond neuronal circuits alone. We propose that lipid membranes, vicinal water, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) form a coherent substrate capable of holographic encoding and coupling to endogenous/exogenous electromagnetic fields (EMF). In what follows: (i) we formulate four postulates (membrane as holographic plate; water as coherence medium; holographic read-write; environmental coupling), (ii) we present a dual-layer model (membrane-water-CSF ↔ EMF) and a one-panel graphical overview, (iii) we integrate the framework with existing theories, and (iv) we outline falsifiable experimental strategies and metrics.

The Role of Ion Channels in Neuronal Computation
Sometimes a single EPSP is strong enough to induce an action potential in the postsynaptic neuron. However, multiple presynaptic inputs must often create EPSPs around the same time for the postsynaptic neuron to be sufficiently depolarized to fire an action potential....
