Main Results:

  • Multiple protocols exist for generating brain organoids, mimicking either whole brains or specific regions.
  • Key factors for protocol selection include desired brain region mimicry and experimental goals.
  • Current protocols face limitations in accurately recapitulating complex brain structures and functions.

Conclusions:

  • Brain organoid technology is a vital tool for advancing our understanding of human brain biology and neurological disorders.
  • Further research is needed to overcome existing limitations and refine brain organoid models for more accurate disease modeling and developmental studies.
  • Standardization of protocols and addressing current challenges will enhance the utility of brain organoids in neuroscience research.
