The researchers also analyzed samples of human neural tissue from embryos that had been stored by a hospital pathologist..

By comparing how fast the neural circuits in the retina perform image - processing operations with how many instructions per second it takes a computer to accomplish similar work, I believe it is possible to at least coarsely estimate the information - processing power of nervous tissue — and by extrapolation, that of the entire human nervous system.

He reports that Advanced Cell Technology plans to clone genetically altered animals whose neural tissue would be immunologically compatible with that of humans.

Methods for making bits of brainlike tissue tap the innate tendency of human pluripotent stem cells to form neural tissue.

The self - renewable capacity of these cells, their ability to differentiate into several tissue progenitors (neural, mesenchymal stem cells...), and the possibility to work with mutated cell lines define human stem cells as a good basis for screening compounds libraries in order to discover new potential drugs for monogenic diseases.
