Image Researcher profiles | Jan 21 2022 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Q&A: Reverse engineering the human brain by growing neural circuits in the lab Neuroscientists face a paradox. 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.
