MENP research lineage - Bryant McGill

# MENP research lineage **Entity class:** Concept or analytic term **Collections:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] · [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]] ## Definition **MENP research lineage** is a concept or analytic term. MENP research lineage is associated with [[wiki/DARPA Contract N66001-19-C-4019|DARPA contract N66001-19-C-4019]]. Contract appears in N3-era nonsurgical BCI work; DoD notice identifies Battelle as prime on same contract number. MENP research lineage includes [[wiki/intranasal administration study (2021)|intranasal administration study (2021)]]. 30-nm MENs reported to cross BBB; magnetic relocation demonstrated in mouse model. MENP research lineage includes [[wiki/in-vivo wireless brain stimulation study (2021)|in-vivo wireless brain stimulation study (2021)]]. Magnetic targeting plus low-intensity field; calcium/c-Fos readouts. The entry centers on the concept's meaning, practical use, and boundaries, together with the examples that make the distinction operational rather than merely verbal. ## Relationships  This entry is routed through [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] and [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]].
