Researchers grow active mini-brain-networks

Cerebral organoids are artificially grown, 3D tissue cultures that resemble the human brain. Now, researchers report success with functional neural networks derived from these organoids. Although the organoids aren’t actually ‘thinking,’ the researchers’ new tool — which detects neural activity using organoids — could provide a method for understanding human brain function.
