Scientists may be soon be able to grow replicas of human brains in a lab

Scientists may soon be able to create human brains in a lab, according to the latest research. For the first time scientists have successfully grown a 3D model of the brain using human cells, allowing them to better study abnormal brain activity. Experts have been culturing brain tissue for years but this technique uses functional neutral tissue to create'brain-like organoids'. Researchers say in the future they could use cells from patients with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's to understand how they will respond to certain treatments. Scientists have successfully grown a 3D model of the brain from human neurons, providing them with a better opportunity to study abnormal brain cells.
