Major Depressive Disorder and Non-locality of Functions in the Brain

Abstract

Dozie Iwuh

There is a specific dilemma faced when the issue of brain and its functioning arises. This concerns the locality or non-locality of these functions. Many theories and arguments have been put forward in support of one or the other. Yet if a considerable look is given to this dilemma using excerpts gathered from quantum physics, one arrives at the conclusion that brain functions which are classical in outlook are non-localised. Major Depressive Disorder (MDD, that is clinical depression), has left many scientists with a lot of conjectures as regards its location. Non-etheless, we have all fallen short empirically in articulating the locality of this disorder in the brain. Can we say that this can be explained when we consider non-locality, with regards to quantum brain dynamics (QBD)?
