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

The video explores how human brain circuits are formed and studied using brain organoids and assemblies. It discusses the process of transforming skin cells into stem cells and then into brain organoids, which can be used to model brain disorders and understand disease mechanisms. The video also addresses ethical considerations and the potential for future research in creating complex brain circuits. The ultimate goal is to gain insights into human brain biology and develop new treatments for brain disorders.

What findings were made regarding the effects of low oxygen on brain organoids?

What ethical considerations arise from the research on brain organoids?

How do the organoids communicate and form circuits in the lab?

What are the implications of using brain organoids for drug discovery?
