Theoretical modeling study proposes quantum pulse communication via microtubule networks for sub-millisecond motor control, suggesting biological signaling bypasses classical synaptic delay.
Phenomena requiring sub-millisecond, systemic bodily synchronization—such as professional baseball batters intercepting a 160 km/h fastball or emergency evasion behaviors under life-threatening conditions (hysterical strength)—transcend the physical limits of classical axonal propagation and synaptic delay (maximum ~120 m/s, transmission latency ranging from several to tens of milliseconds). In this paper, we propose a biophysical model positing that motor and reactive control in living systems relies not merely on electrochemical ionic transmission, but on biological Quantum Pulse Communication (QPC) mediated by spin-phase shifts originating from ATP hydrolysis and transmitted through microtubule networks.
