So far, the human brain is known as the most complex structure in the universe . However
, some researchers from the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology at the
Academy of Sciences , Austria , managed to create a miniature human
brain in the lab .
According to BBC news station , August 30, 2013 , a brain structure that is created by the neurologist was successfully grown by the size of beans , or the size of a nine- week -old fetus . However , the brain does not have the ability to think .
The researchers hope the creation of one man 's vital organs may provide a new understanding of neurological disorders , or impaired human nervous system .
" Currently we are still in the early stages of development in reproducing human organs in the laboratory , " said Dr. Juergen Knoblich , one of the researchers involved .
To create a miniature human brain researchers using embryonic stem cells and adult skin cells . Then , the cells that develop into the brain and spinal cord .
" Although the brain is far from perfect , but the brain will continue to grow as the baby's brain development was nine weeks . Maximum size of the brain about 4 millimeters , or about 0.1 inches , " says Knoblich .
Knoblich also said that the brain is able to survive until almost a year , but the size is not larger. It happens because there is no blood supply to the brain tissue , so that the nutrients and oxygen does not enter into the structure of the brain .
" But the main thing is we want to how the development of the human brain and learn what causes defects in the nervous system , " says Knoblich .
Professor Paul Matthews , from Imperial College London , UK , this study is very interesting and remarkable , because the study of mental and emotional man from his brain .
" We now know the human brain can be created from human skin cells . Though only the size of a pea , but it has a shape . Now we can study and understand the human cerebellum in the brain when a human disorder aged adults , " said Matthews .
