Image news | Jan 29 2024 The Scientist Researchers CHOOSE Organoids to Investigate Neurodevelopment A 3D variation of pooled CRISPR screens could connect the dots between autism spectrum disorder genetics and cell fate pathways in the developing brain. Image news | Jan 26 2024 Ted Radio Hour How lab-grown brain cells can now help us understand brain disorders Neuroscientists have long been frustrated that they cannot access or examine brain tissue. But by reserve-engineering cells in the lab, Sergiu Pașca can now study brain disorders on a molecular level.

The field aims to understand the mysteries of the human mind, but studying the actual human brain cells and circuits that produce our mental lives—and how they go awry in neuropsychiatric disease—is incredibly challenging.
