Scientists Use Nanoparticles to Remote Control Brains of Mice​

They could control their appetite, friendliness, and even maternal behaviors.​

Scientists at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) in South Korea have developed a new way to control the minds of mice by manipulating nanoparticle-activated "switches" inside their brains with an external magnetic field.

The system, dubbed Nano-MIND (Magnetogenetic Interface for NeuroDynamics), works by controlling targeted regions of the brain by activating neural circuits.

While it's not the first "mind control" experiment involving animals, previous approaches have conventionally relied on invasive surgery and bulky external systems that limit the movement of test subjects, as Science Alert points out.

"This is the world's first technology to freely control specific brain regions using magnetic fields," said Jinwoo Cheon, director of the IBS Center for Nanomedicine, and senior author of a new paper published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, in a statement about the research.

"We expect it to be widely used in research to understand brain functions, sophisticated artificial neural networks, two-way [brain-computer interface] technologies, and new treatments for neurological disorders," he added.

In experiments, the researchers activated inhibitory neurons within specific areas of the brain to increase appetite and feeding behaviors by 100 percent. By exciting these neurons, the team could conversely reduce the food the mice ate by 50 percent.

They also used the system to selectively activate receptors responsible for maternal behaviors in the brains of female mice that hadn't reproduced. By activating these pathways, the mice "significantly increased nurturing behaviors, such as bringing pups to their nest, similar to maternal mice," according to a press release.

In a third experiment, the researchers managed to activate brain regions responsible for boosting "friendly" behaviors, encouraging mice to get along with other mice in a small chamber they had never met before.

The scientists manipulated the neurons by magnetically twisting a tiny actuator to pull or push nanoparticles implanted in the mice's brains.

The research could lay the groundwork for novel nanotechnology-based treatments for neurological conditions in humans. It might even help to treat depression.

people don't want shit in their fucking brains

Just wait until they manage to put those nanoparticles in the water you drink and the food you eat.
You can't say no, the jews will rape your brain.

 

[God of Nothing]

Just wait until they managa to put those nanoparticles in the water you drink and the food you eat.
You can't say no, the jews will rape your brain.

That's a recipe for disaster. You have neurons all across your body. If they stimulate them after implanting them through those, people will look like they're having seizures and be unable to do anything. The devices they'd have to create to precisely manipulate every single person to a puppet degree without fucking it up are improbable. The tools they used were tiny actuators made for mice brains they directly implanted. Indirectly implanted nanoparticles that are spread all throughout your body? You'd probably need quantum computer level nonsense for that.
of course, this is all assuming by actuators they mean something really precise rather than just something that activates the nanoparticles, like a broadcasting wave or something

Never thought I’d start considering that the tinfoil-hat clan may have actually had a point.

For the sake of public health, you must be mentally castrated and forced to be as moral and efficient as technology can make you.

In the '90s vidya "Total Annihilation", becoming machine was forced as a public safety measure. Then resistance sparked a 4000 year long war that ravaged the galaxy between the pro and anti mind-uploading factions. But IRL, tyranny would likely just succeed at making remote-controlled soy serfs, and it seems Clown World is heading in that way.

I miss the '00s. And the '90s.

Well, that’s horrifying. Yuval Hari and his minions are some of the most dangerous people in the world IMO. This idea that we are just controllable meat lumps is horrific. But it’s an idea that been spread through some quite insidious ways as well - think about trannies and their insistence that if you just mash the meat parts around a bit like gnostic meat Lego, graft some tits on and carve out a neovagiba, now you’re a girl.
I think this is one reason why I’m so anti Troon - it’s this ideology again, this ‘we are all just interchangeable meat units.’

This is horrendous stuff. Wait until they can target how these things are implanted easily - why do you think they’re fucking around with toxoplasmosis to cross the blood brain barrier and deliver payloads?

You will wear the magnetic good ethics helmet and you will enjoy the wagie cagie!!!

Capitalism and its (((usurers))) has been a disaster for the human race.

 

[Brute Male!]

These obsessive compulsive, narcissistic, modern day Sadducees will proclaim how free will and independent thoughts are spooks and how everyone is just a meat puppet on electrical strings. Yet they, of course, are the exception and can do no wrong and obviously know what's best for you, you stupid niggercattle.

Eta grammar.

 

[Unyielding Stupidity]

You know, I'm starting to feel sympathy for the peasants that freaked out after seeing scientists use electricty to stimulate the muscles in corpses.

Reminds me a little of the novel "A Deepness in the Sky" by Vernor Vinge (RIP). In it, one of the human factions taking part in the race to a fascinating new star uses something like induced and controlled autism. Their civilisation once succumbed to a sickness, but they managed to control it. It could be used to basically instill a focused interest in a particular topic or activity in people, controlled by a modified MRT device. Basically they can enslave people and turn them into hyperfocused savants, with the problem that they're so focused on their topic that they need constant supervision, otherwise they'll starve or shit their pants or in one instance suffer appendicitis and die because they're not able to stop working on their thing.
It was depicted as an incredibly evil thing to do, and while one of the protagonists is tempted to try and use it more ethically for his own gains, he abandons it because it's just too evil.

And here we are with people actively wanting to do something like. "Infect" or implant people to modify their behaviours. This philosopher, Julian Savulescu, argues for mandatory behavioral modifications like that. He also argues for what he calls "proactive beneficence", which is basically eugenics. It's the moral obligation to screen and select embryos for optimal life.
He is, of course, a supporter of abortions, and even argues that a patient in a persistent vegetative state should have care withdrawn more so when they show signs of increased consciousness.
He also wrote a book on chemically enhancing love, arguing that it would be good in the future if people could just take drugs to fall in and out of love.
Note that he is not a scientist in any way. He's a philospher, and one of the worst examples you could imagine.

Theres seven billion people, I'm sure they are fine with testing things out on a few billion to work out the kinks. After all, they think there is too many people anyway.

Mao was right about the burgeoise.

 

[ZazietheBeast]

Globohomo can't collapse soon enough. And it seems we're entering the Alita timeline alright.

Spoiler: Alita is right yet again

A reminder that while Alita as a setting is quite bleak with people on Earth living in quasi Mad Max/Cyberpunk Hell, Zalem being a glorified test chamber and Ketheres being Niggercattle land (Bonus points that everyone on that skyhook being darkies) along with the rest of the solar system having to deal with political bullshit and dystopian crap, like Venus being a organic tech hyper capitalistic Hell, Jupiter being a dictatorship and Mars being a war-torn Hellhole of hi-tech weaponry, this is also the setting where the key to immortality was leaked onto the Internet, Martial Arts made quite a comeback and is affecting the entire setting with Individual Martial Artists directly and indirectly affecting politics.

You just know that this tech is being funded by some creepy globalist fuck out to niggercattle everyone. That said, this is where understanding which country's politics is which will help. For starters, Muzzies are massive meat-eaters. Cows are a big deal with them. This is easily one of the few times where supporting those rabid religious fanatics is actually a good thing because they'll immediately commit Jihad on this blasphemous research and their very clear ties to the Great Satan.

Is this what they put in ze vax?

 

[Whoopsie Daisy]

For any post-2021 newfags, allow me to introduce you to the two rules of KWF

1. Always listen to Drain Todger
2. Always follow rule 1.

This poster was mocked and ridiculed for his stance on COVID 19 back in 2020 and turned into a freaking prophet within weeks.

TL-DR this nigga knows what's up.

The rule of farms strikes again.

Just to add horror to this story, in the early 2000's, an experiment went thusly:

Rats had electrodes placed on the pleasure centre of their brains and had access to a lever that, when pressed by the rat, would deliver a jolt of pure pleasure, in its purest form to the rat. The rats pressed the lever 10,000 times a day and, forgoing food, water and even sex, eventually died because the pleasure was too great and too over-riding to bother with fulfilling base instincts.

The idea of the experiments mentioned in the OP isn't to control you or to turn you into a sleeper agent, it's to turn you into the big consooomer and product-addict in the existence of man. Heroin and fent addicts would pale in comparison to the addiction that would be seen if this comes to fruition.

Globohomo can't collapse soon enough.

Will "globohomo" ever collapse though?

Current Year seems endless, and it seems there's always some plan cooked up to foil any resistance.

Might have been one of the beta tests.

Well I don't like that one bit.

Coom-goon for Slomo yes yes! We love-lubs Israel! -Skaven Goyrat.

Now imagine if this gave you ultimate pain for not subscribing to Amazon +, and you get where they are going.

Current Year seems endless, and it seems there's always some plan cooked up to foil any resistance.

There's two types of collapse. The slow version, which is we are at, and the fast version. Which requires things to go to shit quickly with the right parts going to shit.

Right now, the biggest sign of globohomo taking it up the ass is the competency crisis and the fact that their imported migrants are fucking up the infrastructure that is required to properly conduct dystopian activities. Then there is the simple fact that no-one is signing up to fight for globohomo. Granted, it remains to be seen what happens when they kick in the draft.

Regardless, with the way things are going now, our reality is going to resemble Kenshi with mods.
