State of the Art Review: Information Processing in Microtubules

Abstract

It is very well regarded that the intelligence of a single cell, information-processing and communication is controlled by bundles of microtubules. One of the fundamental aspects of future nano-robots to carry out bloodless, fatal less medical surgery is to understand the fundamentals of this information processing so that it does not destroy the entire system rather than saving it from degradation. Therefore, revealing the mysterious electronics and communication properties of microtubules is to be resolved prior to bringing such medical surgery into practice. In this regard, we strongly believed that microtubule study and toxicology investigation. This report is mainly comprised of a Japanese patent I filed, dealing with new vertical parallel processor(or referred to simply "a vertical processor") following working principle of neural network, a modified virtual source neural network model which comprises the above vertical parallel processor, and a processor training method to train single vertical parallel processor of the above vertical parallel processor. These principles will be utilized in developing new Air Force-sponsored protocols geared toward understanding how the human cell uses microtubules for information processing.
