Genetically engineered 'Magneto' protein remotely controls brain and behaviour
The Guardian ^ | 03/24/2016 | Mo Costandi

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…

Money quote…

In one final experiment, the researchers injected Magneto into the striatum of freely behaving mice, a deep brain structure containing dopamine-producing neurons that are involved in reward and motivation, and then placed the animals into an apparatus split into magnetised a non-magnetised sections. Mice expressing Magneto spent far more time in the magnetised areas than mice that did not, because activation of the protein caused the striatal neurons expressing it to release dopamine, so that the mice found being in those areas rewarding. This shows that Magneto can remotely control the firing of neurons deep within the brain, and also control complex behaviours.

Basically research into new drugs that get you addicted to behaviors and places.

How many vaccinated individuals who have always been “normal” in the past will suddenly exhibit psychotic behavior?

(from the article): " The most powerful of these is a method called optogenetics, which enables researchers

It has been reported in some circles that the *Vaxxine * injection has certain magnetic properties.
Might this be a "feature" or a "glitch" of said injection ?

This will used to reprogram a certain group of people. You know who you are. You will even have judges demanding it be done.

I think the pandemic has brought out psychotic behavior in both vaccinated and unvaccinated people.

This has another interesting potential application to non-neuron cells. All cells communicate with each other via ion channel bridges on their surface to build and maintain the highly organized body organs that make up complex animals. They regulate their individual functions based on a model of the whole organ that is stored in some kind of (as yet unknown) structure within the body.

Researchers at Tufts University are looking at how this information is represented in the body and how it is passed to the individual cells. The goal is to be able to reprogram this model to regenerate failed organs like kidneys, livers, hearts, and even brains. Currently they use drug combinations and optogenetics to turn the ion channels on or off but this magnetic approach might be easier to reprogram.

A potential problem with this might be the effect on body from medical procedures like MRIs that could act like an EMP does on computer chips which destroys them. Somehow the body has evolved to not be vulnerable to large magnetic fields and this control mechanism would breach that protection.

There’s a vivid thought.

The next Carrington Event doesn’t just shut down the various power grids world wide, it also hits the OFF switch on half the population!

Watch only if you you dont mind being creeped out on the possible future of military experiments and methods…. (These are being carried out not just in U.S. but in China and other places as well.)
