What are mini brains? - Madeline Lancaster

Shielded by our thick skulls and swaddled in layers of protective tissue, the human brain is extremely difficult to observe in action. Luckily, scientists can use brain organoids - pencil eraser-sized masses of cells that function like human brains but aren’t part of an organism - to look closer. How do they do it? And is it ethical? Madeline Lancaster shares how to make a brain in a lab.
Lesson by Madeline Lancaster, animation by Adam Wells.

Love the animation so simple yet captures each phenomenon beautifully especially the brains learning part. Also thank you for telling us about such research, I never knew this was already achieved 5 years ago and i am gonna be a doctor. In our country research are not given priority but learning by your videos is way to pass those walls.

Brain the size of a pencil eraser? So that scene in David Lynch's Eraserhead was legitimate head science, who knew.
This is insanely fascinating, well explained, and beautifully animated

it is just amazing how they utilize every bit of animation to deliver both the information and the message they want to deliver. when making this video, way more taught was put into it than it shows. that is part of why it is so good
I LOVED the animation of this video. Excellent as always, Ted-Ed.
As a visual person I really love this animation at best. It keeps pace with the subtitles the most.
Please use this art style and genre of music from now on. It's so relaxing and helps me focus on the topic at hand.

"What makes us human?" Didn't Aristotle kinda answered that by defining the different kinds of species in dependence with their capabilities?
@HerMi.T

Right, Aristotle theory really help us to understand why we are human beings. I think the better way to put this is that what makes us living organisms because other organisms also has brains but their dependence with situations and capabilities make them different from us.

Kudos to Ted ed for very informative videos as always i just became one your patrons
2:53 SQUID GAME?? phenomenal animation work btw
The animation was a different and familiar simultaneously and I loved every second.
Very informative and easy to digest
Ted-Ed's animation is soooo good that I can't keep them in watch later. I can't even finish the video without pausing to comment how amazing the animation is!
Considering human brains can be grown in a womb, a lab isn't that far fetched.
Beautiful animation! Great content!
What about a video about consciousness and self-consciousness?
Excellent video. Very educational 👍
I love the analogy - the way the brain organoid is likened to parts of the plane. Thank you, TED-Ed!
Amazing Video.Great concept and supported by a brilliant animation.
Beautiful. Great job, as always
this is so cool!! i love the animation

Timerºº Very Nice question. I would say yes. Depends on how it's done. If its just an add-on that helps you think better. It would be okay. Now, if it disturbate the way you think, or some part of your brain is removed by "an improved one" Then... NO

NicosoftNT Indeed, "add-ons" may be a way to ensure it's still you. But well, our bodies are completely renewed as years pass, and we still feel like the same person, consciousness is still a big mystery.

Amazing animations!
I was today years old when I first learned about this! amazing
Great animation ted ed !
In love with the animation!
What a beautiful piece of art portraying a cutting-edge science!
Great animation! Stands apart by its originality.
That was awesome!
Amazing, thank you
I thin this is one of my favorite looking videos so far from this channel

This animation are gonna make me cry
Very interesting video. It’s so cool that we can make these sort of stuff now to learn more about ourselves. Also, the animator did a really amazing job. Well done!
The animating in this, like all Ted ed Vids, is fantastic.
For context: a bee has 100,000 neurons
Interesting info!!!
Amazing!!!
This video was amazing
This is the BEST ANIMATIONS I've ever seen in a Ted-Ed video!
The animation here is amazing!
Now this is actually an extremely interesting video. Definitely given me some inspiration as a writer!
This is fascinating. I never knew this was a thing!
Those animations are amazing
I love this animation!
Makes me think how incredibly complex life is. A complete human/ animal/ ... just originates from 2 cells that came together.

Mini brain blown!
This animation style pleases me.
Great work and very easy to understand! Yet we are still missing the big picture including the effects of diet, sleep on our cortex and the effects of diseases on the construction and deconstruction of synapses basically our memories and learning!
Thumbs up for animation...👍👌
Classic animation , I love soooo much . Love form India !!!!
Loved the animation, could someone advise me on how this is done? I'd like to learn more
graphics are soo good!
That is amazing
Very interesting though a really scary idea as well. thank you @Ted-Ed, all the best!
So can this brain think? *shudders
The animation is Nooice! 👌👏
this animation is masterfully done... my god
We can mimic Logan's brain though, I show you nothing
