b"with @PascaStanford, @VijayPande, and @omnivorousread\\n\\nOur understanding of the human brain and its disorders has always been limited by our lack of access to living, human, developing brain tissue. For the first time, that's changing. In this episode, Sergiu Pasca, Professor of Behavioral Science at Stanford, talks with a16'z General Partner Vijay Pande and Hanne Tidnam about the wild new tech that's pioneering a whole new approach to understanding the brain: brain organoids. This conversation covers what these organoids can and can\\u2019t do; what they\\u2019re good for understanding and where that understanding becomes limited; why calling these \\u201cbrains in a dish\\u201d or \\u201cmini-brains\\u201d isn\\u2019t the right terminology at all; and finally, how far can this new tool and model be taken now and in the future, leading us closer towards understanding psychology itself on a molecular level."
