Mini-brains grown in a lab show neural activity like preterm babies
Miniature brains grown in a lab show remarkably similar activity to preterm babies’ brain, dispelling the idea that brains need to develop in a womb to function Source: https://www.newscientist.com/article/2214687-mini-brains-grown-in-a-lab-show-neural-activity-like-preterm-babies/?utm_campaign=RSS%7CNSNS&utm_source=NSNS&utm_medium=RSS&utm_content=home…
