ABSTRACT

This chapter introduces new concepts such as biomolecular processing hardware, biomolecular processing software, information, and routing carriers. Certain postulates, hypotheses, assessments, and solutions may be viewed from different perspectives, and their broad society engagement is expected in the various multidisciplinary topics. The chapter shows the terminology used in science, medicine, and engineering are different, and correspondingly, consistency in definitions and meanings cannot be ensured. Following the accepted theory, the chapter introduces some concepts of life science disciplines. The conventional neuroscience theory postulates that in neurons the information is transmitted by action potentials, which result due to ionic fluxes that are controlled by the cellular mechanisms. In neurons, some biomolecules and ions function as the information and routing carriers. Signal and data processing, memory storage, memory retrieval, and information processing may be accomplished by utilizing a biomolecular processing hardware with possessed biomolecular processing software.
