Researchers use technology to show organoids respond to external sensory s
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
A team of engineers and neuroscientists has demonstrated for the first time that human brain organoids implanted in mice have established functional connectivity to the animals' cortex and responded to external sensory stimuli. The implanted organoids reacted to visual stimuli in the same wa
