We've known the basic physics answer to this for ages

What is the authorative physics answer which proves this goes one way or another, applied to cell biology, in the human head?

That, we don't know. We don't know because no one has studied it in any detail. What we do know is that you can't calculate biological consequences using known physics. Which should be obvious to anyone who knows any biology or physics.
That goes counter to the widely accepted belief in physicalism (which could be entirely misplaced)
Again: ask any biologist how often they have used quantum field theory to discover whether a drug will work.

It is not rocket science: biology is complicated and messy.
