Brain organoids are tissue structures created in the lab, which imitate certain functions of the brain. As a simplified model system, they enable experimental access to questions surrounding the development and function of the human brain. In the statement “Brain organoids – model systems of the human brain”, published by the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina, scientists examine the opportunities to be found in this research area and whether it should be more strictly regulated for ethical or legal reasons.
