Growing brains can be a tricky process, but growing ones that can make muscles move? That's an incredible feat. Here's how scientists did it.

"The capacity for this model to be used to investigate the way in which neurons connect up within the brain and with the spinal cord could have important implications for our understanding of a range of diseases. In particular defects in neuronal connectivity are thought to underlie various psychiatric illnesses, including schizophrenia, autism, and depression. "

"Finally, through electrophysiological and co-culture studies, we demonstrate functionality of these tracts, which are even capable of eliciting coordinated muscle contractions in co-cultured mouse spinal cord-muscle explants.

"The stuff we really care about in the brain, like consciousness, are emergent phenomena-they arise from the collective workings of individual neurons, which create a whole that’s greater than the sum of its parts. The problem is that we don’t know at what level these phenomena emerge. A neuron is not conscious. A person is. What about all the steps in the middle? What about 2 million neurons? 20 million? 200 million?"

TBH I've got a weird question for if we develop full cures to mental disorders that reverse all the effects: will people like me with disorders such as Autism, which can have some benefits like very specific skills, want to cure that disorder and lose one thing to gain back another? I'm scared that if I ever "cured" my Asperger's Syndrome, I might not be skilled enough in subjects like Math to do the things I love anymore since that aspect of my thought process would likely be gone. I'd rather stay like this if it means I get to keep being great at the stuff I'm great at, I'm an introvert anyway so it doesn't matter all that much to me how well I socialize.

@Sciencerely 5 жыл бұрын

@@baconsandwich1887Unfortunately, I am not a neurologist or psychologist and therefore do not feel entitled to give you a scientific answer about mental disorders. From a personal standpoint, however, one of my best friends has Asperger's syndrome. When we first met, he was introverted but after some weeks of sitting next to each other in class, we started talking (and he was unbelievably funny). I know that he has obstacles from time to time in regards to socialising but he is unbelievably smart. I would not like him to change and he would not either. Many people, however, suffer from neurodegenerative diseases, which are often deadly/or destroy the lives of the patients. Over 45 Million people in the world suffer from dementia, half of which are diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. There are no current cures for Alzheimer's which makes it a very tragic disease (Coincidentally, I just made some videos about Alzheimer's). Although Multiple Sclerosis itself is not deadly, over 50% of patients develop cognitive dyfunction, depression is 3 times more common and divorce rates are 9 times higher. These are diseases in which we urgently need to develop cures. If you are interested in such topics, you can subscribe to me and we discuss them in the future.

"Should we be growing brains in a petri dish?" Yes, absolutely! However, ethicists are not wrong in wanting to prepare for the potential of such experimental brains to reach sentience at some stage in the future- and to hopefully work together with scientists for how to test for and even how to treat those brains. It just seems prudent and empathetic- even if the experiences of such a brain were far different than our own as human brains within bodies.

Yup we'll start by slowly removing parts of your brain to see what levels of consciousness you lose. Can you see the inherant problem with studying consciousness in this manner?

The ethic question is less of whether it will become conscious, and more about defining what is consciousness. Therefore bringing the question can it ever be considered conscious in the first place. I dont know personally but those are the direction of questions that need answering.

In general, I think it is important to perform research on this topic to understand the underlying mechanisms for the brain. The next step is the ethical part. Which spices does the cells come from? Depending on how advanced the research is we might have to go through ethical committees. But in my opinion, go for it and make the research!

I think as long as we don't make them develop an experience it should still be permitted In the case we have information or evidence they actually do have an experience, they must be shut down, and the investigation should cease. Because in that case, we would be messing with life itself, creating an individual, and as we know, we don't want that to happen. to create an individual for the mere purpose of serving us, a conscious individual with an experience, feelings and a sense of "I am I". That would be the most unethical thing to ever do.

Without sensory organs to input environmental stimuli and sensory information from the "body" that this hypothetical "Self" would inhabit, there really shouldn't be any meaningful consciousness. Without those sensory organs, there wouldn't be any notable language learned and therefore, conceptual ideas about the "Self" in that cluster of random neurons wouldn't exist. Also, the proliferation of the human (and by extension, many mammalian) brain(s) undergoes a complex system of enrichment and pruning that determines which neuron networks need to stay for the well-being of the organism, and without that environmental stimuli to determine what things need to stay, any random proliferation of neurons in a "mini-brain" will not have a meaningful pattern due to lack of pruning to facilitate any kind of consciousness or awareness. Once we start /that/ process, then I would imagine that ethical implications would need to be discussed, but until then, we're talking about a cluster of cells with no awareness/consciousness, and specifically, no pain receptors(!), that just fire random electrochemical signals to anything that will accept them.
