So they culture different brain tissues and blood vessels separately and then glue them together manually. Are the resulting blood vessels fully functional, such that they could keep the organoid alive indefinitely?

Brains light up? What? This title is crazy.

You’re the second person in two days that I’ve encountered on Lemmy that has been totally baffled by a simple and mundane metaphor.

Brain organoids existed for a long time iirc

After I saw the demo where a scientist tought it how fly a (simulated) plane, I thought it was going to be an alternative to AI. Sad that there hasn’t been much development in this space

I’ve been enthusiastically watching The Thought Emporium build one
