Abstract:
Cerebral organoids represent a new model in which to study human brain development outside the human body. Recently in Nature Biotechnology, Lancaster et al. (2017) tackled the lack of reproducibility, tissue homogeneity, and complexity of this system by bioengineering organoids to establish the next generation of human mini brains.

Piaget proposed that the formal operational stage, emerging in adolescence, represents the culmination of cognitive maturity. During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are...
