Most chemical elements have two or more stable isotopes. One can ask
if isotopic diversity of key biological elements (H, O, C, N) plays
some nontrivial role in bioevolution up to the level of consciousness.
In this paper we discuss the possible role of the diversity of stable
isotopes in brain functioning. We suggest that the information processing
associated with consciousness can be assisted by the inclusion of isotopic
effects into the neural information processing at the microscopic level.
Keywords: isotopes, morphogenesis, Cantor, Platonic world, information
