Scientists develop world’s first magnetic nanoparticle technology to remotely control behavior

South Korean researchers have developed Nano-MIND, a system using magnetized nanoparticles and magnetic fields to remotely control specific brain regions in mice, enabling precise manipulation of behaviors like appetite, social interaction and maternal instincts. Unlike invasive methods such as optogenetics, Nano-MIND is wireless and non-invasive, using nanoparticles as "switches" activated by external magnetic fields to … Continue reading Scientists develop world’s first magnetic nanoparticle technology to remotely control behavior
