Scientists at the University of California, create tiny human brains that produce brain waves

Scientists at the University of California, San Diego, have used stem cells to create miniature lab-grown brains that produce brain waves resembling those of preterm babies. The team created cerebral organoids i.e. a scaled-down model of the human brain, about the size of a pea. Furthermore, in July this year, NASA packed these organoids and sent them to International Space Station to test out how these mini-brains develop in zero gravity.
