Congratulations to George, Andras, @lakatoslab.bsky.social and collaborators for the publication of the human motor axis in dish! As a neurologist, it was amazing to see the corticospinal tract in vitro and how it can reveal new strategies for axon regrowth after injury. www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Jeremi spotted this cool paper studying Parkinson's disease in midbrain-striatum organoids that assessed the degree of functional connectivity, between different regions of their assembloid on the microelectrode array, using MEA-NAP! www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Detecting State Changes in Functional Neuronal Connectivity using Factorial Switching Linear Dynamical Systems

A key question in brain sciences is how to identify time-evolving functional connectivity, such as that obtained from recordings of neuronal activity over time. We wish to explain the observed phenome...
