Seems like a reach. However there does seem to be growing support for quantum interactions in the brain. Originally it was thought the brain was much to warm and wet to support quantum behavior.
Apparently Roger Penrose had a crazy idea about quantum consciousness, with precious little to support it. But there's been several papers since that provide interesting hints. One is "Ultraviolet Superradiance from Mega-Networks of Tryptophan biological networks".
Another noticed by Suart Hameroff (Arizona university) noticed that some anethesias do not have an explained mechanism. Especially noble gases that are inert and generally do not chemically interact with the body, but do work as an anethesias. Turns out they do interact with tryophan rings, changing the quantum properties.
trypophan can form tubules, which are VERY common in the body, and do seem to have strange quantum properties.

Apparently microtubules are common and
