the claim
Quantum mechanics plays a functional role in biological brain processes
the verdict
CONTESTED
the evidence cuts both ways
confidence 34/100

Whether quantum mechanics plays a functional role in biological brain processes remains intensely debated, with some researchers pointing to potential quantum substrates like microtubules and radical pairs, while critics emphasize that warm, wet neural environments cause rapid decoherence.

The evidence we hold leans leans supported
