Part of British Science Festival
A lecture presented by Professor Mike Coleman part of the Medicines Research Unit
With our aging population, the incidences of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Motor Neurone diseases are increasing and without new human experimental models of brain function, it is unlikely we will be able to understand and treat these afflictions. This talk describes the first steps towards a laboratory model of functioning human brain tissue and also the possible implications of this research.
