🧠“We’re trying to understand the fundamentals of how neurons can be adaptively tuned to solve problems,” said #BaskinEngineering Ph.D. student Ash Robbins, who helped train brain organoids to solve a goal-directed task.

MIT engineers have figured out how to turn skin cells directly into neurons — skipping the stem cell stage entirely. This could fast-track therapies for spinal cord injuries, ALS, and more. https://t.co/NYNeurrjMX

Why mouse organoids? We can directly compare their development to well-documented stages of actual mouse brain development in vivo. This is crucial for validating our models in a way that's simply not feasible with early human development due to ethical and practical constraints

Excited to share our new preprint! https://t.co/Jc4fuZV7mC We investigated how brain circuits may arise in models deprived by sensory input as mouse forebrain organoids🧠. #Neuroscience #Organoids #BrainDevelopment

This may suggest that simply changing the cellular recipe (more inhibitory neurons) significantly alters how neural circuits self-organize and mature. VF organoids showed patterns closer to in vivo development, like refined hub dynamics and stable connectivity.

Demis -- I think AlphaFold3 is really exciting. As Reviewer #3, I got great results from the server. I tried hard to get @Nature to urge you to release the code but was unsuccessful. I did not get it for re-review so I don't know if you responded. So why no code? @GoogleDeepMind
