high

Neuronal jamming

Tier 3 — Demonstrated (Lab-proven)

Legacy status: DEMONSTRATED

Overwhelm targeted neurons via continuous high-frequency stimulation through compromised electrodes. Prevents normal neural signaling. Analogous to radio jamming. Implanted BCIs with stimulation capability.

Pathway: N7 (PFC/M1) → executive function; N6 (hippocampus/amygdala) → emotion regulation

Following Poldrack (2006), brain region disruption does not uniquely predict psychiatric outcomes.
