摘　　要：指出了针对神经信号传递和处理的主流理论的争论,即神经信号以电信号和化学信号的形式进行传递处理的理论虽然可以很好地解释感觉、运动、反射等神经系统的低级功能,但很难构建出解释大脑高级功能和精神活动的一般概念或原则.提出了神经回路中存在有生物光子(又称生物超弱发光)传递,并可能介导神经信号的传递和处理、参与人脑的高级功能和精神活动.综述了生物光子在神经回路中传递及介导神经信号传递处理的相关理论假说和实验研究.The processing of neural information in neural circuits plays key roles in neural functions. It is well accepted that neural communication is mediated by bioelectricity and chemical molecules via the processes called bioelectrical and chemical transmission, respectively, which mainly occur in axons and synapses. Indeed, they seem to provide reasonable explanations for the basic functions and neural encoding of the nervous system, but difficultly to construct genera/accepted concepts or principles to provide reasonable explanations of neural functions and mental activities, such as perception, learning and memory, emotion and consciousness, etc. It has recently been suggested that biophotons, also called ultra- weak photon emissions, may play a potential role in neural signal transmission and processing, contributing to the understanding of the high functions of nervous system. In this paper, we briefly review the relevant experimental studies and theoretical hypothesis on neural signal transmission and processing via biophotons, and the possible mechanisms.
