Is Quantum Mechanics Necessary for Understanding the Brain and Consciousness?

My names Dan, I'm 23 and am going to school for psychology. I'm curious about physics though and I thought this seemed like a good site to learn about it and ask questions. I'm mostly curious about quantum mechanics.

Welcome to PF!

Have you taken any courses in QM yet? I don't think it's required for Psychology but things change so you never know...

Thanks. No I haven't. I've read some books on it though. & Quantum physics is probably required in some schools for neuroscience in understanding quantum consciousness, probably in neural engineering too.
