The Science behind syncytium

We’d like to give a tip-of-the-hat to our colleague, Dr. Stuart Hameroff. of the University of Arizona for inspiring our name.

The name Synsyta stems from a term in cell biology, syncytium : Tissue in which multiple cells come together and operate as a single cell, as is the case with neurons and muscle cells. The central image to the right is a syncytium.

“It is ironic that gap junctions connect together neurons and glia, at least transiently, into a sort of reticular syncytium— Golgi’s idea overthrown by Cajal’s demonstration of discrete neurons and chemical synapses. Gap junction assemblies of transiently woven-together neurons have been termed “hyper-neurons” and suggested as a neural correlate of consciousness.” (Consciousness, the Brain, and Spacetime Geometry, Hameroff)

“As few as three gap junction connections per cortical neuron (with perhaps thousands of chemical synapses) to neighboring neurons and glia which in turn have gap junction connections elsewhere may permit spread of cytoplasmic quantum states throughout significant regions of the brain, weaving a widespread syncytium whose unified interior hosts a unified quantum state or field (Hameroff & Penrose, 1996; Woolf & Hameroff, 2001).”

A Syncytium, shown below, is a group of cells that come together and act as one cell. Neurons and muscle cells form syncytiums.
