quantum mechanics ? you think quantum mechanics is applicable for neurons ? i know it's fashionable to speak on topics one clearly has no clue about but you'd think the name would give it away

Neurons apparently contain microscopic tubes that make use of some quantum effects:

The user was implying neurons could be in multiple states at the same time because...quantum mechanics. Wrong conclusion even from this link.

That doesn't mean that neurons could be in multiple states at the same time which is what you were implying. That particular assertion is still horribly wrong.

'...the assumed brain function producing entanglement, must use a kind of quantum distillation process on mixed states.'

again, that doesn't mean neurons can exist in multiple states. There is also no also indication higher level computational functions in the brain responsible for reasoning or whatever have you require any quantum computations.
