The topological non-local braid-group concept of information processing in brain, the different role of the gray and white matter

Abstract

The velocity of the action potential transduction along myelinated axons in the peripheral nervous system or in the white matter of brain and spinal cord reaches hundreds of meters per second to assure proper functioning of the body, which exceeds the ability of diffusive ion conduction. We propose the new model of the saltatory conduction based on a plasmon-polariton kinetics in myelinated axons, which excludes, however, the white matter form the information storage and its identification in the brain via e-m response. We propose a nonlocal topological approach to information processing in the cortex of brain in consistence with the ion electricity of the gray matter and a supplementary only communication role of the white matter.
