Can human brain cells actually grow inside a mouse brain? A new Stanford study has taken this fascinating possibility a step further by replacing a mouse’s missing cortex with human neural tissue. The human cells developed, connected with mouse neurons, and even formed rare Von Economo neurons-cells linked to social behaviour and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Researchers also used the model to study how human neural tissue responds to low oxygen, offering clues about conditions such as cerebral palsy. But could human-animal brain experiments ever go too far? Here’s what the science actually says.
