    I don’t think ion channels are small enough for quantum interactions to be significant. Do you have any source for quantum interactions in neurons?

      I think you’re right, but people love shoehorning quantum effects in anything they can. Decoherence is likely too fast in these systems to be meaningful: they’re relatively enormous
