Scientists at Stanford University have successfully transplanted lab-grown human brain tissue, called cortical organoids, into mice bred with most of their cerebral cortex missing. These human brain cells not only survived but thrived, growing and forming functional connections within the mice's nervous systems. This groundbreaking development creates "xenocortical" mice, offering an unprecedented opportunity to study human brain development and neurological disorders like autism and schizophrenia at a cellular level, paving the way for new treatments.
