Madeline Lancaster

Madeline Lancaster, a pioneering neuroscientist, accidentally discovered cerebral organoids while using expired lab materials. These miniature brain models reveal how human brains develop and are now used in cancer treatment and even play video games like Pong. The discussion dives into ethical concerns about their potential consciousness and the implications of connecting organoids to study pain pathways. Lancaster's groundbreaking work opens up new avenues for understanding human development and diseases, sparking both fascination and debate.
