The brain and neurons are related because the brain of the Platynereis dumerilii worm contains light-sensitive neurons that are essential for modulating its lunar clock, as described in [1].

Quantum Models of Consciousness from a Quantum Information ... arxiv.org 4 facts
claimThe Orch OR theory posits that information processing in the brain occurs at the level of microtubules, which shape neurons and provide their unique architecture, though this theory conflicts with established principles of neuroscience.
claimExperiments reported in references [25, 63, 64] demonstrate that synchronous neuronal firing has a functional role in the brain and that the brain's endogenous electromagnetic field contributes to recruiting neurons into synchronously firing networks.
referenceQuantum models of consciousness can be categorized into three groups based on the level at which quantum mechanics operates in the brain: models suggesting consciousness arises from electron delocalization within neuronal microtubules, models proposing consciousness emerges from the electromagnetic field surrounding the neural network, and models positing consciousness originates from interactions between individual neurons governed by neurotransmitter molecules.
claimWhile the Conscious Electromagnetic Information (CEMI) Field Theory does not require quantum effects, it proposes that the electromagnetic field could control neurons through single-photon interactions, which may represent the only way quantum effects are permitted to manifest within the brain.
Psychedelic Drugs News - ScienceDaily sciencedaily.com 1 fact
claimA classic psychedelic similar to LSD, psilocybin, and mescaline activates a specific cell type in the brain that silences neighboring neurons.
Landmark experiment sheds new light on the origins of consciousness alleninstitute.org 1 fact
claimResearch findings indicate a functional connection between neurons in the early visual areas at the back of the brain and the frontal areas of the brain, suggesting that consciousness may be linked to sensory processing and perception rather than primarily the prefrontal cortex.
Panpsychism - Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org 1 fact
measurementMax Tegmark calculated the decoherence rates of neurons and concluded that the brain is a classical rather than a quantum system, and that quantum mechanics does not relate to consciousness in any fundamental way.
Thinking about the action potential: the nerve signal as a window to ... frontiersin.org 1 fact
claimThe nervous system and the brain are metaphorically described as operating as a digital counting mechanism, with individual neurons acting as logic devices.
Extent and Health Consequences of Chronic Sleep Loss and ... - NCBI ncbi.nlm.nih.gov 1 fact
claimAlzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by memory loss and intellectual decline that progresses with age, caused by the degeneration of neurons in the brain.
Non-physicalist Theories of Consciousness cambridge.org 1 fact
accountThe physical process of moving an arm away from a painful position involves nerves in the arm being stimulated, electrical signals traveling to the brain, the release of neurotransmitters between neurons, and electrical signals returning to the arm to cause muscle contraction.
Quantum Approaches to Consciousness plato.stanford.edu 1 fact
claimUmezawa's proposal models the brain as a many-particle system where neurons function as the particles.
Consciousness and Cognitive Sciences journal-psychoanalysis.eu 1 fact
claimAttentional mechanisms are distinct sets of processes in the brain that are neither localized to a small group of neurons nor represent the entire brain operating as a single ensemble.
Human body systems: Overview, anatomy, functions | Kenhub kenhub.com 1 fact
claimThe nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, and sensory organs, which are connected by neurons that transmit neural signals.
Quantum Approaches to Consciousness plato.stanford.edu 1 fact
claimUmezawa’s proposal treats the brain as a many-particle system where the particles are neurons, operating at the level of neuronal assemblies that correlate directly with mental activity.
The Lunar Clock Beneath the Waves: How Marine Life Runs on ... bioneers.org 1 fact
claimPlatynereis dumerilii worms modulate their lunar clock using light-sensitive neurons in their brains and clock genes similar to those found in vertebrates.
The Conscious Mind - Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org 1 fact
claimDavid Chalmers concludes that consciousness is realised through the structure of the brain rather than the substance of the brain, arguing that if consciousness were substance-dependent, replacing neurons with silicon chips would cause consciousness to disappear or change, which seems implausible.
Effects of psychedelics on neurogenesis and broader neuroplasticity link.springer.com 1 fact
accountAltman and Das first evidenced adult neurogenesis, the process by which new neurons are continuously added to the brain, in 1965 through autoradiographic and histological evidence of postnatal hippocampal neurogenesis in rats.
