    TITLE: STAT+: Scientists made mice with half a brain. Then they filled them with human organoids

    URL: statnews.com/2026/09/16/human-

    For the last decade, scientists have been steadily getting better at growing “cerebral organoids,”  miniature, three-dimensional brain-like structures, from human stem cells in the lab. Now, a group from Stanford University has found a way to advance their usefulness for studying brain development and disease — by instead growing them inside mice that have had large parts of their own brains genetically removed. 

    Neuroscientists say these “neuro-chimeric” mice, whose brains are half-human — by volume, not by number of neurons — are an important innovation for a field hampered by longstanding challenges in accessing human brain tissue for research. But such models also raise a host of ethical questions that will get thornier the more advanced they become. 

    In a study published Wednesday in Nature, the Stanford team reported finding types of human cells inside the brains of 3-month old chimeric mouse pups that are very hard to obtain in a dish. They included pyramidal projection neurons that had wound their way into some of the animals’ spinal cords. The scientists also found evidence of specialized, super-sized neurons involved in social cognition only found in large-brain mammals like elephants, whales, and primates, including humans.

  4. Our new 📄 in Current Alzheimer Research looks at a strange, and worrying, phenomenon in scientific writing: tortured phrases. Instead of blood-brain barrier, some papers use bizarre alternatives like blood-brain obstruction or blood-cerebrum boundary.

    :doi: doi.org/10.2174/01156720504602

    These are not just language errors, they can signal deeper issues such as weak #PeerReview or even #PaperMills.

  14. Russia explores neurotechnology at scale beyond Neuralink newsgab.com/russia-explores-ne on Neuralink vs Neiry - what could possibly go wrong?

  15. The concept of "Cognitive Warfare" remains alarmingly undefined in the West, hampering our ability to develop effective countermeasures. In our latest episode, we examine how the battlefield is shifting from physical terrain to the human mind itself.

    We analyze Dr. James Giordano's work on the weaponization of neuroscience and what it means for international security. Listen to "The Invisible Battlefield" youtu.be/vWnHA_mBmJA

  21. 🧠💭 The role of philosophy in science

    Can a philosopher talk about consciousness without being a neuroscientist—or vice versa? Heisenberg already knew that science needs self-reflection.

    In the Zoomposium with the late Gerhard Roth, we talk about the limits of what can be explained.
