I am having a molecular driven drink right now!

The microtubules, or to be more precise, the compartments making up the microtubules may act like the p-n junctions in solid state transistors in silicon chips, acting as quantum switches where the information is encoded by the spin flip of the electrons within the tubules. The tubules themselves would then act like the paths between the transistors/switches moving information about. A neuron would then, in essence, be much like a cpu in a computer.
