Brain organoids are self-organizing “mini-brains” grown from human stem cells that recapitulate key aspects of early neural development. They fire neural networks on MEAs, model neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases, and offer human-relevant platforms for drug discovery, circuit mapping, and studying brain evolution—while raising important questions about maturity, reproducibility, and ethics.
