Episode 252 -- Symposium 2022: 3D Models of Human Cortex and Development
from Neuroscientists Talk Shop Hosted by Neuroscientists Talk Shop
On Thursday, October 20, we held our 13th annual Neuroscience Symposium. The topic was organoid models of cortical development. Brain organoids are 3-dimensional tissues grown from pluripotent stem cells. For studying cortical development, the stem cells are cultured under conditions that promote differentiation into cerebral cortex neurons. The participants in the symposium spoke on the use of organoids as a model to study human cortical development and disorders of development. After the symposium, the speakers met for a panel discussion, which was recorded. Participating: Jenny Hsieh, Department of Neuroscience, Developmental and Regenerative Biology, UTSA Giorgia Quadrato, Keck School of Medicine of University of Southern California Vanesa Nieto-Estevez, Department of Neuroscience, Developmental and Regenerative Biology, UTSA Fikri Birey, Emory University School of Medicine Host: Charles Wilson, Department of Neuroscience, Developmental and Regenerative Biology, UTSA
