the huge human cerebral hemispheres, results from a complex combination of factors including the early molecular processes which divide the brain long before it starts growing,» she said.
«For example, there is a
huge amount of interest and excitement globally in growing
cerebral organoids» — miniature brain - like organs that can be studied in laboratory experiments — «from stem cells to model
human brain development and disease mechanisms.
