German Scientists Create Artificial Brains From Stem Cells In A Lab.

Scientists in Germany have developed an artificial human brain in a lab. This ‘mini brain’ also has eyes. Although it is not fully developed. This mini-brain is produced from human stem cells.

Lab Made Mini Brain has been developed by researchers at the Institute for Human Genetics in Germany. The mini-brain has developed a 5-week-old fetus-like eye, scientists say. In the future, it will reveal many new things that will work in the treatment of the disease.

Learn why Mini Brain is special

The Mini Brain is 3mm wide. It contains the cornea, lens, and retina of the eye. With its help, he can see the light. The eye can also communicate with the brain using neurons and nerve cells. Scientists say that this retina prepared in the lab will come in handy in the future for people who are blind.

According to research published in the journal Stem Cell, when light rays are applied to these eyes, their signals reach the brain. This proves that what the eyes are seeing is getting the brain. 

Researcher Gopalakrishnan says that with the help of a mini-brain, the connection between the eye and the brain can be detected during fetal development in congenital retinal-related disorders and during testing of certain types of drugs retina.

Blood supply required

About 324 such mini-brains were created in 60 days, scientists say. Two hundred forty-three of them were not fully developed. It looks just like a human embryo. They cannot live long without a blood supply.
