YAY: Your Doctor Could Grow a Tiny Version of Your Brain in a Petri Dish
Editor’s Note: Nothing about this sounds good. Why, you might ask? Because we all know we’re living under a scientific dictatorship run by tyrannical psychopathic elites who control all the science. Tiny human brain clones? Instead of it being “perfect for testing customized brain drugs” as Pop Sci suggests, it’s more likely they will all be implanted into mice or hamsters or something. Then weaponized. The government will probably create an army of weaponized hamster assassins with tiny human brains that can talk and kill off entire cities.
We saw The Secret of NIMH. We know what’s up.
Via Popular Science:
Prescribing medications for psychological conditions is notoriously tricky—one drug works differently for individuals with the same condition and can even change over time in the same person. Now researchers have been able to create tiny versions of patients’ cerebral cortices in petri dishes, which would allow them to test how drugs would work on a patient’s brain before prescribing the one that works best. The study was published last week in the journal Nature Methods…
This new technique allows researchers to use the same stem cells from a patient’s skin to create a three-dimensional complex of neurons, as well as their supporting glial cells, that closely resembles the structure of the actual brain. The process requires fewer steps than previous methods, and the “budding cortex” may also lend itself to brain slicing, which, when it’s more sophisticated, could allow researchers to get a better look a how circuitry disorders affect the brain.
