What are mini brains? - Madeline Lancaster

Did they have to find a Trump voter to donate a mini-brain or just wait until one of them blew their nose and stole that?

Who's here after artist physician video.

time to start growing humans guys

matrix noises

For algorithm

Amazing!

Animation is next level...

Human brain size has actually been getting smaller since the stone age

But wait. This is not like the plane analogy. You don't just put neurons randomly connected. You let them develop, right? And even if they aren't able to process information, wouldn't it be possible to feel?

Did anybody else notice the PlayStation logos in this animation?! :) It lacks the "X" though.

Send your Animator to our schools.

Could minibrains develop with interaction with the outside world?

This makes me wonder how we humans have progressed...🤓

So can that mini think

Why they are not attaching or joining the mini brains together

Why not stem cells also from the umbilical cord?

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!

What makes us human? I can answer the question. It's never just about our brain, but more about our spiritual mind and feelings in our soul, that allow us to be faithful, merciful and loving beings, unlike our "younger brothers" - animals. Animals have feelings, but they can't be faithful or merciful, they don't have moral code, because they aren't human. Humans are the biggest God's creatures, and through faith, mercy and love we grow. Remember that;)

The size of the brain is not related to the intelligence of a species but the ratio between the size of the animal and the its brain, also we humans have a good ratio of superficial area in our neocortex, the part of the brain that makes us smart (the dragons of the Eden by Carl Sagan).

It’s amazing to know that it’s not only brain but the arrangement that makes us who we’re, thx!

Very insightful! I really appreciate the hardwork y'all put in. Thank you!

Very interesting though a really scary idea as well. thank you @Ted-Ed, all the best!

Cancer cell creates seperate vessel blood system for them selfes there for activate some cancer cell genes will make ability of organoid to grow larger

Could you theoretically replicate a brain with this knowledge in the future?

the stem cells were like electrons in the string theory, the change when acted upon.

Designer babys??

Can you connect muscles to the smoll 🧠?

This guy: "Zica" (as in a disease)
Me: Oh. That was why Amy was mad at Hitchcocks perfume.

What a beautiful piece of art portraying a cutting-edge science!

What if we connect a bunch of mini brains together?

hmm you could use these organoids to make a biological computer, the speed would be amazing, with no over heating issues.

Could we produce bio computers?

The animation was a different and familiar simultaneously and I loved every second.

i doubt feeding the brains to grow them into a full sized ones is a problem to some. but it would not be open research due to ethical reasons

one step closer to cloning

Wait uh
Are you talking about my brain

I mean, I knew of them because I'm familiar with mirrors.

My mini brain now😮

Now there is organoid intelligence

Give it a mouth, and I'll bet you that it will start screaming

I guess these man-made horrors are no longer beyond my comprehension, nice

Males already have these 😂

My brain is smaller than that...😳

It is interesting to note how many of the comments about what such a mini brain will be capable of doing have now been proven to be incorrect. Developments in the past couple of years enabled us to now allow such a mini brain to be connected to the outside world to give it inputs and collect outputs. Mini brains have been taught how to play Pong etc. The future potential is enormous…!

So, is this how we ended up as brains in vats?
