SmarterEveryDay Agreed. The entire process is ingenious. It takes an incredible group of minds to figure out that the solution to invasive brain surgery involves air bubbles and ultrasound.

Hi, Destin! Fancy seeing you here

It would be interesting to know about a resolution of this method and how sharp are edges of the medically active zone.

As if we weren't using barbaric methods with little knowledge in the past to try and treat seizures.

That is literally imposible #destroyed

@@pegatrisedmice #?

Yeah, I would've liked to hear of the probably pretty severe side effects this can have. Possibly still better than cutting open the skull tho.

Those were like my first thoughts too, epp a scary thought.

I was also thinking of how likely it would be that the virus dna embeds in our own and that gets passed on to our kids.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oJx1mLNevLHWlJ8.html

Long time memory formation is way more complex, since a memory is just our brain recreating a memory. This will actually be way more useful treating seizures and other malfunctions. Especially with all the emotions etc. coming with the memory.

There is literally a person who is unable to form a memory, some say his life is like vivid memories. Every day its like a reset for him, its pretty sad.

Right. Cause that will make the mice feel better about it all. Lol. That's like a hunter "honoring" the animal he just killed. It's just hypocrisy to help sleep better at night.

@@somedudeok1451 Exactly my thought, you got the point

​@@somedudeok1451 It's hypocrisy to pretend that death isn't part of life, whether you die by a meteor or a gun shot or under a scalpel. Furthermore, no hunter is as disillusioned as you seem to be on the subject, those practices were established by countless hunters to prevent sport-hunting and wastefulness out of genuine respect for the bounty provided by nature.

@Just Rinat: You make it sound as if being bred to have weird and deadly experiments done on you is something completely natural. Now, I know it's necessery to test medicine on beings that are less valuable than humans, but I say we should not kid ourselves and think it's completely ok just because we build mouse monuments and have some international mouse day.

@Aufenthalt and a not so good SciFi scenario !

Congrats for the great work . Now I have some questions ? 1)can we remotely do gene editing .as in using CRISPR from a distance . 2)Is their a way brain is regulating genes on and off switch ? 3)Can genes be modified to behave as some virus as we know that DNA contain information about all disease in our forefather even in humanity . 4)Can we communicate with DNA from a distance as some peole talk about DNA communicates through light .

The critical operative question is WHEN.

@@arzoo_singh thank gods the good man didn't reply and waste his time - I will though 1. Remotely? Sure if you can inject the viral vector with a remotely controlled manipulator. 2. Can brain turn genes on and off? No? Suppressing and activating genes happens when DNA copying is underway as far as I can tell - there could be some epigenome - machinery that decode dna - affected by neurotransmitters? I am just speculating here. 3. All information about diseases from forefathers? Fiction is really getting hard to you mate, AC games aren't real - the DNA contains specific adaptions that could help against certain diseases and environmental conditions, but that's from natural evolution (the ones without the adaptations died out due to the diseases). The only place where your ancestor's immunity gets transferred to you is through mother's milk (where she got it from her mother) - perhaps that's real thing you should be worried about. 4. Can DNA communicate from a distance? There is quantum entanglement - where sub atomic particles behave in accordance with one another regardless of the distance between them. Though... Um it's not unique DNA or humans or living things really - subatomic particles constitutes sun as well as stone just as it does constitute mobile phone or conspiracy theorist

That's because it is. This is essentially a genetic on/off switch that can be localized. The obvious examples being bodily immobilization (motor control) or lobotomization (frontal cortex). Although, it can get even "better". Targeting other structures of the brain can lead to someone who is overcome with fear all the time or someone who has uncontrollable anger. But hey, no "scientists" ever seem to ask themselves "should we do this" after thinking of a possible way to do something. Good ole' CRISPR.

Checking if there is any unwanted virus in blood before the procedure is easy and pretty standard. Routine checks are done to exclude common infections prior to any surgical procedure. And don't worry! Blood inside your blood vessels generally is free from any kind of pathogen, thanks to our immune system.

Science wins again.

Thanks ;)

@@yesno1498 Thanks for asking. Immune system, acquired immunity to be precise, cannot destroy any new microbe right away. It needs about two weeks to prepare biological weapons against it once detected. So, the modified virus would have done their job, that is to transfer codes for new receptors into brain cells, long before they are intercepted and neutralized.

@@technobabble7702 do they even have a brain

finally someone with good ideas

*That implies they've a brain*

*_-Sixty ninth-_*

It would be much harder to do with memories that are important for humans, than mice trying to remember a location. There are a lot of different types of memory (episodic, semantic, working, short term) that are stored in different areas of the brain, and a single memory's different aspects are shared among different areas that shift over time and with attempts at recall.

Dude there's tons of drugs to restrict memory build up. Roofies, alcohol,... No need to send me sth as complicated.

@@Todestuete yeah, but alcohol has other effects that can lead to a person not doing anything remotely close to what they were supposed to do. And you need quite a lot of it to achieve it, so those side effects will be noticeable.

I'm sure they are not after that for humans. They just do memory disabling because is easy to test in mice. It's mentioned briefly in the video that they want to be able to "shut off parts of the brain". That will be very effective for epilepsy or parkinson for example

Think about brain enhancement... The future will be interesting

Sadly from a biological perspective this is far fetched. It's like saying dropping a ball could reverse gravity if you did it too many times.

LoL🤣🤣

Wooo imagine not contagious zombies that you can turn on by sound. Just hide the virus and micro-bubbles inside a vaccine. Then on a special day in a specific event play the right music and boooom!! The crowd eats the president.

I was thinking the same. There is probably a risk of infection, and it doesn't sound reversible. Still super promising :)

It only lasts a couple of seconds.

Not all viruses are deadly though. And some are programmable, so you can make them die after they've done their job.

You have to make sure the persons blood is free of anything that could damage the brain before the treatment.

The virii don't contain their own RNA any more. They are modified to have the sequence required and they replicate that inserted sequence.

The idea of brain computer interfaces is something I'm really intrigued by! I haven't done any research into the area yet, but the idea of essentially taking out the middle-man of eg a sensory organ between a stimulus and your brain is fascinating!

True (Full Dive) Virtual Reality is something I wanna work on some day...

The idea is open the blood barrier for a short amount of time and absolutely flood the biggest accessible artery supplying that area with huge amounts of the drug or virus you want to administer, so as to maximize the amount of desired product going in and leave as little time as possible for the unwanted molecules to pass through. I don't know the details of the molecular biology (it doesn't have to do with special transporters though) or how they measure the passage of unwanted stuff into the brain.

@@whychoooseausername4763 Oh thanks! That makes sense. I should look into it :)

@@helenanevrayeva Please feel free to educate me if you do ! I read a scientific article about this technology a couple of years ago when it first came out, but I haven't kept up with the research :)

CRISPR-cas9 viruses do that better, that's more likely to be your aging cure. The blood brain barrier is the only reason we couldn't do this to brain cells before this advancement. Did you know you can buy CRISPR-cas9 viruses and vectors online?? $8.50 per microgram

@NO I did know about CRISPR-cas9 but I didn't know they were that cheap. Though I wouldn't know how to use it, or what even to do with it tbh. So not very useful 😂

@@feynstein1004 check The Odin. Crazy guy there doing a lot to make genetic engineering accessible.

Nah i don't think about stopping aging. I think about alzheimer and dying more authentically once we can treat its causes.

@Tasty Rainbro Eh don't we know about its causes already? Some kind of plaque buildup in the brain?

Very promising, but making it cheaper and readily available will be difficult and take years. It will take minimum of 10 years until we get a viable commercial procedure. So just in time we get older.

Your world? What about MY world! I live in the Nth dimensions, please send help

Go to OpenWater.cc, Their technology is based on this, we are in exciting times indeed, this is one of the things that has future implications for VR aswell.

@casual Don't worry, this is only a fake feeding a conspiracy theory.

I was thinking the same thing.. Imagine: Grab somebody off the street, inhibit their memory formation, 'interrogate' them for hours, drop them in a hotel, and they wouldn't even remember it. Yikes.

@@aaronkoch3273 It wouldn't work like that. First you would need to get them into one of those MRI tubes. Then you have to wait a while while the virus rewrites the neuroreceptors. And only then can you administer the chosen drug that will inhibit memory creation. So your subjects will remember the abduction and the time in the MRI tube. No way around that with this method. And that is not what it's for. There are many much simpler and easier ways to inhibit memory creation, and even implanting of false memories.

*X files soundtrack intensifies*

Different guy?

Not we... someone else will... not you...

I think he's implying that "we" means the human race.

@@chuffy-t3272 Obviously, and I'm just being pessimistic, its not a bad thing to be reminded that regardless we all belong to the same species, individuality matters as well, "we" is meaningless with an "I'...

Of course. But the point is not to prevent memory formation. That was just to test if the technique works in principle. Now they can go on to heal things booze can't.

Don't look down on our ancestors. They made today possible.
