We are screening documentary about Prader-Willi syndrome #PWS “The Life You’re Given” for #RareDiseaseDay (February 28)

Using brain organoids, scientists can study #autism/#schizophrenia/#epilepsy and probe the effects of mutations in human cells. They allow us to better understand early brain development in humans -- without harming a human fetus.

New video about neurodevelopment research in Emory’s Department of Human Genetics, featuring the work of @Sloan_Lab , @jimena_andersen and @fikribirey. The trio created @BrainOrg_Hub to standardize advanced techniques and to train others. #neuroscience.
