Lab-grown Brain Models Show Progress

The human brain remains a complex tool indecipherable by the most astute biologists. Now, some experts may have recreated a miniature model of the human brain.

Scientists have created three-dimensional organelles through stem cell research, and they are believed to exhibit some neuronal activities resembling the brain of a human new-born. Many other neurological factors remain untested in the research and the organelles are a simplified version of cortical function, but experts remain hopeful.

Billions of neuronal connections have been reported in the cluster of organelles, which provides great potential toward understanding how the human mind works and fails on a biological level.
