In a first, scientists create brain circuit that can transmit sensation of pain

A research team at Stanford University has become the first to assemble a functioning brain circuit in a lab dish by combining different types of neurons grown from human stem cells, according to a report

Researchers created an assembloid by integrating four organoids that represent the four components of the human sensory pathway, along which pain stimuli signals are conveyed to the brain. Image Courtesy: Pasca Lab/Stanford
