Brain Waves Have Been Detected Coming From 'Mini Brains' Grown in The Lab

8/29/2019

Scientists have successfully grown brain tissue in a lab, which has shown signs of producing brainwaves similar to those of pre-term babies. Using stem cells, researchers were able to grow three-dimensional neural tissue that exhibited electrical activity similar to that found in premature infants. This breakthrough could lead to a better understanding of brain development and neurological disorders. The study also highlights the potential for using lab-grown brain tissue to test the effectiveness of drugs and therapies. While the research is still in its early stages, it represents a significant step forward in our ability to study and manipulate brain tissue.
