The results obtained by Afsaneh Gaillard's team and that Pierre Vanderhaeghen at the
Institute of Interdisciplinary Research in Human and Molecular Biology show, for the first time, using mice, that pluripotent stem cells differentiated into cortical neurons make it possible to reestablish damaged adult cortical circuits, both neuroanatomically and functionally.
