New Alzheimers Research Paves The Way For Mass Human Mind Control

Summary from the University of California, San Diego Health Sciences:

Researchers have erased and reactivated memories in rats, profoundly altering the animals’ reaction to past events. The study is the first to show the ability to selectively remove a memory and predictably reactivate it by stimulating nerves in the brain at frequencies that are known to weaken and strengthen the connections between nerve cells, called synapses.

The real world application is to cure Alzheimers disease, and that’s great, the problem is what else the technique could be used for. The study has been published in the journal Nature and the system used to alter the rats brains is alarmingly simple.

From Science Daily:

The study, published in the June 1 advanced online issue of the journal Nature, is the first to show the ability to selectively remove a memory and predictably reactivate it by stimulating nerves in the brain at frequencies that are known to weaken and strengthen the connections between nerve cells, called synapses.

“We can form a memory, erase that memory and we can reactivate it, at will, by applying a stimulus that selectively strengthens or weakens synaptic connections,” said Roberto Malinow, MD, PhD, professor of neurosciences and senior author of the study.

Scientists optically stimulated a group of nerves in a rat’s brain that had been genetically modified to make them sensitive to light, and simultaneously delivered an electrical shock to the animal’s foot. The rats soon learned to associate the optical nerve stimulation with pain and displayed fear behaviors when these nerves were stimulated.

Analyses showed chemical changes within the optically stimulated nerve synapses, indicative of synaptic strengthening.

In the next stage of the experiment, the research team demonstrated the ability to weaken this circuitry by stimulating the same nerves with a memory-erasing, low-frequency train of optical pulses. These rats subsequently no longer responded to the original nerve stimulation with fear, suggesting the pain-association memory had been erased.

In what may be the study’s most startlingly discovery, scientists found they could re-activate the lost memory by re-stimulating the same nerves with a memory-forming, high-frequency train of optical pulses. These re-conditioned rats once again responded to the original stimulation with fear, even though they had not had their feet re-shocked.

“We can cause an animal to have fear and then not have fear and then to have fear again by stimulating the nerves at frequencies that strengthen or weaken the synapses,” said Sadegh Nabavi, a postdoctoral researcher in the Malinow lab and the study’s lead author.The world is on the brink of implosion. Financial issues are on the minds of people around the world, civil wars look set to rumble on, possibly even expanding into international, even global conflicts.

Millions are without clean water, parts of the United States are getting perilously close to running dry.

Hunger, often considered to be a problem other, less developed countries experience, is stalking our neighborhoods as decent jobs become a distant memory.

The problem comes when the government sees other applications for this research, applications that could make their citizens more amenable to change, to the control that governments impose upon them.

Genetic modification of humans is already happening on a medical level. Any procedure that involves our DNA being tinkered with is a form of genetic modification. For years mass produced food has been genetically modified, food we consumed for God knows how long before the full implications were realized and the fight back started.

These Frankenfoods have an effect on our bodies, many that we probably have no clue about at this point, and if you can selectively remove, rearrange and restore a given memory in a rat genetically modifying humans via the food they eat can’t be all that difficult…
