Scientists have connected two organoids together with an axon bundle, to study how brain areas communicate. They sent signals back and forth and responded to external stimulation. This could be a step toward biocomputing.
Learn about: axons, white matter, re-entry, optogenetics, myelination, entrainment, short-term potentiation.
CORRECTIONS/CLARIFICATIONS:
As the pinned comment points out, there are many different kinds of neurons, and two pairs of organoids may not have the same cellular makeup. This natural variation between neurons might also account for the different post-stimulation behavior of the organoids from different cell lines.
