Abstract

Human cortical organoids transplanted into the somatosensory cortex of rats integrate into the host neural circuits, receive inputs from host cells, and can produce behavioral responses. In a publication in Nature, Revah et al.<sup>1</sup> highlight the potential of this platform for modeling circuit defects associated with neurodevelopmental disorders.
