Abstract

The possibility that memory is related to the collective rotational energy levels of the molecules is considered. Treating the molecule as a quantum rotator, the probability of the "hidden-crossing" transitions between rotational states, induced by the external periodic electric field, is analyzed. It is found that this probability depends on frequency only, i.e. the external signal causes the information transfer rather than the energy. Using the data of the typical sources of electric signals in brain cells and the criterium of maximization of the information entropy, the relevant number of water molecules (rotators) per cell is estimated. The results appear to be close to the actual number of water molecules per cortical neuron.
