“Magneto” Protein: Genetically Engineered To Control Brains And Behavior

This is potentially the most dangerous and dystopian development in genetic modification in history. “The researchers inserted the Magneto DNA sequence into the genome of a virus”. The DNA behavior is then triggered by magnetic fields or radio waves. ⁃ TN Editor

Researchers in the United States have developed a new method for controlling the brain circuits associated with complex animal behaviours, using genetic engineering to create a magnetised protein that activates specific groups of nerve cells from a distance.

Understanding how the brain generates behaviour is one of the ultimate goals of neuroscience – and one of its most difficult questions. In recent years, researchers have developed a number of methods that enable them to remotely control specified groups of neurons and to probe the workings of neuronal circuits.

The most powerful of these is a method called optogenetics, which enables researchers to switch populations of related neurons on or off on a millisecond-by-millisecond timescale with pulses of laser light. Another recently developed method, called chemogenetics, uses engineered proteins that are activated by designer drugs and can be targeted to specific cell types.

Although powerful, both of these methods have drawbacks. Optogenetics is invasive, requiring insertion of optical fibres that deliver the light pulses into the brain and, furthermore, the extent to which the light penetrates the dense brain tissue is severely limited. Chemogenetic approaches overcome both of these limitations, but typically induce biochemical reactions that take several seconds to activate nerve cells.

The new technique, developed in Ali Güler’s lab at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, and described in an advance online publication in the journal Nature Neuroscience, is not only non-invasive, but can also activate neurons rapidly and reversibly.

Several earlier studies have shown that nerve cell proteins which are activated by heat and mechanical pressure can be genetically engineered so that they become sensitive to radio waves and magnetic fields, by attaching them to an iron-storing protein called ferritin, or to inorganic paramagnetic particles. These methods represent an important advance – they have, for example, already been used to regulate blood glucose levels in mice – but involve multiple components which have to be introduced separately.

The new technique builds on this earlier work, and is based on a protein called TRPV4, which is sensitive to both temperature and stretching forces. These stimuli open its central pore, allowing electrical current to flow through the cell membrane; this evokes nervous impulses that travel into the spinal cord and then up to the brain.

Güler and his colleagues reasoned that magnetic torque (or rotating) forces might activate TRPV4 by tugging open its central pore, and so they used genetic engineering to fuse the protein to the paramagnetic region of ferritin, together with short DNA sequences that signal cells to transport proteins to the nerve cell membrane and insert them into it.

When they introduced this genetic construct into human embryonic kidney cells growing in Petri dishes, the cells synthesized the ‘Magneto’ protein and inserted it into their membrane. Application of a magnetic field activated the engineered TRPV1 protein, as evidenced by transient increases in calcium ion concentration within the cells, which were detected with a fluorescence microscope.

Next, the researchers inserted the Magneto DNA sequence into the genome of a virus, together with the gene encoding green fluorescent protein, and regulatory DNA sequences that cause the construct to be expressed only in specified types of neurons. They then injected the virus into the brains of mice, targeting the entorhinal cortex, and dissected the animals’ brains to identify the cells that emitted green fluorescence. Using microelectrodes, they then showed that applying a magnetic field to the brain slices activated Magneto so that the cells produce nervous impulses.

To determine whether Magneto can be used to manipulate neuronal activity in live animals, they injected Magneto into zebrafish larvae, targeting neurons in the trunk and tail that normally control an escape response. They then placed the zebrafish larvae into a specially-built magnetised aquarium, and found that exposure to a magnetic field induced coiling manouvres similar to those that occur during the escape response. (This experiment involved a total of nine zebrafish larvae, and subsequent analyses revealed that each larva contained about 5 neurons expressing Magneto.)

Solitons ... a fascinating class of waveforms able to maintain shape while propagating at a constant velocity. They’re why, for example, the waveforms sent from your brain reach the muscles controlling your fingers intact.

In theory a circuit that could work as a shunt between two nerve cells could provide a way to bridge a broken spinal cord.

Never knew how that guy’s research project turned out.

Many who got the vax were laughing on social media videos showing how their jab spots were magnetized.

Frankenstein was always running the laboratory.

His monster is now in control.

Well, maybe we will have to turn our homes into Faraday cages after all, LOL.

Now that my Ivermectin therapy is ready to go, I am looking for the Delta Variant wave of that double mutant whichi is now so prevalent in Canadian Cities. The rural areas do not have it. Trudeaus immigration ghettos in places like Toronto still have the whole country shut down as we try to free ourselves.

We are going to have to fight in Canada to get our freedom back, Trudeau is not following the science, he is screwing every body all across Canada and refusing to allow Canadians to travel to the USA, while welcoming US tourrists who have had 2 shots into Canada for travel and vacay,Canadians are not allowed out of the country without costing them 5 grand a pop.

People are really angry at Trudeau. He has not made one good call thoroughout the pandemic, even letting hundreds of infected Iranian immigrants to Canada back into Canada in June of 2020 after they visited with relatives.He also refused to get vaccine supply secured by participating with Trump[ by investing in Operatin Warp speed, he went to Europe to secure Canadas supply and they stabbed him in the back like good socialist do, and that set our reopening program back, way back, We’ll see.

As it is now, the Canada /US bordewr is scheduled for re-opening on July 21st, so they say, but the Socialists in Ottawa do not want to relinquish their draconian control.

So the Socialist Mandarins who run Canada have demanded that every Canadian use an “ARRIVECAN” app. when not all Canadians have cell phones, and will take no other proof of vaccination other than what is entered on the “APPCAN” data base. This will deny thousands of canadians the ability to corss the border who have documentary proof of vaccination, for example.

There may be riots yet.

You can’t expect anything else from the son of the Cuban dictator, can you? He’ll have you all on a ration of beans shortly.

Makes my skin crawl:

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3969757/posts

“In order to get the intact fetal scalps in the recent Pittsburgh study funded by Fauci’s NIAID, the Planned Parenthood abortion doctors supplying the Pitt tissue bank would have needed to use illegal partial-birth abortions to extract the fetal heads whole enough to yield usable scalps. Unless the consent forms told the pregnant patients their babies would be scalped to stitch onto lab rats, the consents are almost certainly invalid through fraudulent omissions.”

In fact these guys are ghouls.

I swear they need to be staked through the heart and burned to save us from them.

People are very angry at Trudeau the psychopomp drama teacher as he cajoles Canadians to get vaccinated.He refuses to open the US/Canada border while businesses on both sides are going bankrupt and the infection rates are minuscule.

The lefty socialists of Canada spent millions wiping the internet pf Justin Trudeau in black face, And international sources are blocked by the Canadian internet supervisors.

But we have our ways:
