Title:

Understanding Brain Development through the Eyes of a Scientist

Summary:

In a captivating conversation with Paola Arlada, a Harvard professor specializing in stem cell and regenerative biology, we explore the intricate process of human brain development and the potential of brain organoids. Paola discusses the complexities of brain assembly, the differences between human and mouse brains, and the remarkable plasticity of the human brain. She elaborates on how technologies like organoids can provide insights into neurodevelopmental diseases and assist in understanding the broader implications of intelligence and consciousness. The conversation also touches on the ethical considerations of in vitro brain research and its implications for the future of artificial intelligence and human evolution
