How we're reverse engineering the human brain in the lab | Sergiu P. Pasca

Sobre este episódio

<p>Neuroscientist Sergiu P. Pasca has made it his life's work to understand how the human brain builds itself -- and what makes it susceptible to disease. In a mind-blowing talk laden with breakthrough science, he shows how his team figured out how to grow what they call brain "assembloids" -- self-organizing clumps of neural tissue derived from stem cells that have shown the ability to form circuits -- and explains how these miniature parts of the nervous system are bringing us closer to demystifying the brain.</p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
