Treatments for these diseases are often completely lacking or only partially effective, due in large part to the difficulty of conducting brain research and the complexity of the brain itself. Researchers in recent years have developed new models to better represent and study the human brain. The three models considered in this report, all of which generate and use pluripotent stem cells from healthy individuals and patients, are human neural organoids, human neural transplants, and human-animal neural chimeras. The Emerging Field of Human Neural Organoids, Transplants, and Chimeras: Science, Ethics, and Governance reviews the status of research, considers its benefits and risks, discusses associated ethical issues, and considers governance mechanisms for this type of research.Emerging Field of Human Neural Organoids, Transplants, and ChimerasBrainDiseasesBrainDiseases.616.80461Affairs Policy and Global1655080Committee on Science Technology, and Law1724000Committee on Ethical Legal, and Regulatory Issues Associated with Neural Chimeras and Organoids1724001National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and MedicineMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821246003321The Emerging Field of Human Neural Organoids, Transplants, and Chimeras4169101UNINA
