Abstract

In this issue of Neuron, Kagan et al.1 implement learning-in-a-dish as an important step toward organoid intelligence. These systems may complement the study of molecular and cellular mechanisms of cognition and allow innovations in pharmacological and toxicological studies of neurodevelopmental or neurodegenerative disorders as well as advances in biological computing.
