The relationship of brain activity to conscious intentions is considered on the basis of the functional microstructure of the cerebral cortex. Each incoming nerve impulse causes the emission of transmitter molecules by the process of exocytosis. Since exocytosis is a quantal phenomenon of the presynaptic vesicular grid with a probability much less than 1, we present a quantum mechanical model for it based on a tunneling process of the trigger mechanism. Consciousness manifests itself in mental intentions. The consequent voluntary actions become effective by momentary increases of the probability of vesicular emission in the thousands of synapses on each pyramidal cell by quantal selection.
基于大脑皮层的功能微观结构来考虑大脑活动与意识意图之间的关系。每个传入的神经冲动通过胞吐作用导致递质分子的释放。由于胞吐作用是突触前囊泡网格的一种量子现象，其概率远小于1，我们基于触发机制的隧穿过程为其提出一个量子力学模型。意识在心理意图中表现出来。随后的自愿行动通过量子选择瞬间增加每个锥体细胞上千个突触处囊泡释放的概率而变得有效。
