If the brain can get any extra fitness from exploiting quantum effects, it will. But the reason people are interested in this stuff seems to be that they think there's a connection between the quantum nature of the brain and consciousness. I don't see how the argument is any more than this:
1. Quantum effects seem mysterious.
2. Consciousness seems mysterious.
3. Therefore, quantum effects cause/are consciousness.
...which seems pretty weak.
