Abstract

Dissecting the role of the thalamus in neuropsychiatric disorders requires new models to analyze complex genetic interactions. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Shin et al. use patient-derived thalamocortical organoids to investigate 22q11.2 microdeletion impact on thalamic development, revealing significant transcriptional dysregulation linked to psychiatric disorders.
