Abstract

How does the human eye develop in concert with the brain to create a functioning visual system? In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Gabriel et al. (2021) report the development of eye-like structures from forebrain organoids with light sensitivity, signal processing, and connectivity, which moves us toward answering this complex question.
