Japanese Scientists Build Human Brain Circuits in the Lab

Source: Science Daily - Top HealthResearchers in Japan have recreated key human neural circuits in the lab using tiny brain models called assembloids. These structures are designed to mimic how different parts of the human brain connect and communicate. Using this system, the scientists showed that the thalamus plays a central role in shaping specialized neural circuits within the human cerebral cortex. The study appears in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the...
