Take my answers as beliefs, not absolutes. Contrary to popular belief, I am occasionally wrong.
Anesthesia is one where they understand what it does, but not how it works... I had a medical issue that came up, and the best medication literally says in the info sheets that they have no idea how it works, but it's been shown to work X% better than placebo. It completely worked with the issue, and talking to others with the same issue said I was lucky because that was the least intense of the potential medications.
Microtubules; beyond my pay grade. (If you can answer in a less technical way then the wiki page, I would appreciate)
IMO, yes, the brain is a biological quantum computer.
No, I don't believe the brain consciousness, but rather receives consciousness, the processing relates to inputs from the senses. Brain damage can harm that 'conscious connection' (no correct term, AFAIK).
The elegant answer would be the aether or everywhere, as part of everything, or if that's not acceptable the answer would shift to wherever souls exist (if there's a tangible "where").
Plants are definitively conscious, plants in the same plot will 'share' water with its neighbors. Even single celled organisms have shown levels of consciousness in spite of the lack of a brain.
That's why I also believe evolution is an incorrect theory, just in that of being a "random" process, I believe evolution is an intelligent process. Something I though of trying to reconcile "creationism" with "evolution" .
