Information transport by sine-Gordon solitons in microtubules

Biological Physics 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

We study the problem of information propagation in brain microtubules. After considering the propagation of electromagnetic waves in a fluid of permanent electric dipoles, the problem reduces to the sine-Gordon wave equation in one space and one time dimensions. The problem of propagation of information is thus set.
