Human brain cells are successfully implanted in mice

The team examined the perception of the number of mice carrying human brain cells and had not detected unusual intelligence.

Scientists at the Salk Institute successfully implanted undeveloped brain cells from donor fetuses into the brains of mice, Newsweek reported on April 19. They made a number of changes to bring fluorescence green color and observe the process they developed thanks to the small transparent "windows" on the mouse skull.

Human brain cells exist and develop with mouse brain cells for about 233 days. Even in some areas of the brain, human cells are superior in number."It's a great achievement ," commented Abed AlFattah Mansour, an expert at Salk Research Institute.

Cognitive tests show that the number of mice is not smarter than usual. However, this is still a new study and the team of scientists has not been able to ascertain how human brain cells will affect the perception or behavior of mice.

Scientists hope that research will bring many positive results in the future. For example, they can better understand the development of human brain, help treat patients with brain damage, replace the brain area that is not working or normal development.
