The following report is from the Trends Journal:
Illnesses that reside in the brain often are caused by cells that are weak or dormant. Treating the conditions with drugs, light, sound, and electrodes implanted deep in the brain often are only partly successful and carry risks.
At University College London, neuroscientists have developed tiny magnetic particles that could work more reliably.
Metal particles as big as three ten-thousandths of an inch are injected into the brain in areas where cells are to be stimulated to amplify or quiet their signals.
The particles are coated with an antibody that binds them to astrocytes, cells between neurons and the brain’s blood vessels that activate or moderate brain circuitry. Astrocytes are sensitive to touch.
When a micromagnetic pulse stimulates the particles, they press on the astrocytes, which, in turn, stimulate the neurons.
The technique’s early applications could include stimulating neurons to produce dopamine to ease symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease or serotonin to treat depression.
TRENDPOST: While the technology shows obvious therapeutic benefits, it also offers a tool that invites misuse. Although medical science has stronger ethical guardrails in place than other technologies generally do, new strictures will need to be created and enforced to govern activating or deactivating brain patterns at will.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[1] Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; [3] Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.1 Timothy 4:1-3
Regular readers know that I always say: whenever these wicked technologies shows up, it is always hidden under the guise of trying to fix some sort of health problem, but obviously can and will get abused quite rapidly.
The WP has covered some of the brain-controlling technologies these scientists are coming out with:

Engineers Release ‘Magneto’ Protein That Remotely Controls Brain Function And Bodily Behavior
Scientists Develop Cybernetic Injectable Swarm Of Brain Reading Nanosenors

Mad Scientists Manufacture Helmet To Access Secrets Of The Mind
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
