Shielded by our thick skulls and swaddled in layers of protective tissue, the human brain is extremely difficult to observe in action. Luckily, scientists can use brain organoids - pencil eraser-sized masses of cells that function like human brains but aren’t part of an organism - to look closer. How do they do it? And is it ethical? Madeline Lancaster shares how to make a brain in a lab.

I love the posthuman stuff like this. How about something cyborg-y in the future?
TED-Ed can you return the super hero science series
TED-Ed biko. Bnk
Nu pagadi
how do you made this video?
*Excellent animation*
This is incredible. Anyone has an idea how this animation was done ? With what kind of software ?
Boufcon done by best animators with best softwares
Its almost always made with Adobe After Effects.
Thanks, man, I am the animator. Bit of After Effects, bit of 3D Software.
Do you have any background in neuroscience? Man you sure are talented! I hope there are ways to can help you get recognized.
I’m going to write a science fiction script for a movie about organoid rights
have you done it yet
@@veenamukesh in the finishing stages of pre-post-launch production, next we will be onto the reshoots of the contingency script for the fourth film, as long as we stay on track for the second prequel writing meetings during c*vid. But we do have a few thoughts on our first line of the movie! So close 💫
@@RemingtonHillOfficial Woah!!!!! Congratulations!
@@RemingtonHillOfficial damn thats awesome
Be careful, it may just become science fact
What is a mini brain?
It's what I have in my skull.
Lol 😂
oof that hits hard
Thank you TedEd for bringing us yet another informative video with amazing animation.
Love the animation
so simple yet captures each phenomenon beautifully especially the brains learning part.
Also thank you for telling us about such research, I never knew this was already achieved 5 years ago and i am gonna be a doctor. In our country research are not given priority but learning by your videos is way to pass those walls.
How's it going?
Brain the size of a pencil eraser? So that scene in David Lynch's Eraserhead was legitimate head science, who knew.
This is insanely fascinating, well explained, and beautifully animated
Ahh...The animation is soo smooth My OCD brain is satisfied.
I KNOW WHAT THEY ARE!
I have one!
Ooo, how do dat feels? Me no has 1
Me too have 1
NVM
i have nothing in my head just skull
🤣🤣🤣 I feel that one brah!
0:33 so you're saying there's a moat around my consciousness and it has duckies in it.
accurate.
Haha yes, the cerebrospinal fluid inside the skull...Such a cute representation!
Mine has crocodiles
The analogies used throughout the entire video is on point. Really makes the subject a lot easier to learn.
I LOVED the animation of this video. Excellent as always, Ted-Ed.
it is just amazing how they utilize every bit of animation to deliver both the information and the message they want to deliver. when making this video, way more taught was put into it than it shows. that is part of why it is so good
TED-Ed >>> TEDTalks.
they are all very informative and superb
Someone Else tik tok 😂😅
Ted talks analyse something in even more detail. That's why Ted talks is also great. Ted ed is great introduction.
Very insightful! I really appreciate the hardwork y'all put in. Thank you!
As a visual person I really love this animation at best. It keeps pace with the subtitles the most.
Which software you use for making these animations? I wanna learn too. It's amazing!
Its probably made in adobe illustrator. You could find some online tutorials if you want to learn.
Busted_Bullseye thank you
go to skillshare.
Ted ed hires animators for each video, which is why the art/illustrations vary for each one
Please use this art style and genre of music from now on. It's so relaxing and helps me focus on the topic at hand.
Sara Zeru the fun of TED-Ed is the varying styles. Maybe only when talking about brains, as they have used the same style for videos of the same topic.
Spectacular animations! Amazing explanations!
0:54
Someone should tell the animator that schizophrenia isn't split personality.
True.
Maybe they put that because it was suppose to be shown as a hallucination.
I wouldn’t know how to draw it in a simple but actual representation
Really like the animation style! Not mentioning the way the topic explained. Thank you!
Thank you TED ED it's really helping me
Ur voice should be universal
Another great and informative video as always. Keep doing what y'all are doing.
Amazing Video.Great concept and supported by a brilliant animation.
I really enjoy learning about these things. Thank you for sharing it.
Kudos to Ted ed for very informative videos as always i just became one your patrons
Very informative and easy to digest
The animation was a different and familiar simultaneously and I loved every second.
Thanks TED-Ed. This was amazing!
Beautiful animation! Great content!
Love these videos. Keep it up
Excellent video. Very educational 👍
loved the animation on that video!
What a beautiful piece of art portraying a cutting-edge science!
this is so cool!! i love the animation
Great animation! Stands apart by its originality.
Beautiful. Great job, as always
Ted-Ed's animation is soooo good that I can't keep them in watch later. I can't even finish the video without pausing to comment how amazing the animation is!
I love the analogy - the way the brain organoid is likened to parts of the plane. Thank you, TED-Ed!
What about a video about consciousness and self-consciousness?
In love with the animation!
"What makes us human?" Didn't Aristotle kinda answered that by defining the different kinds of species in dependence with their capabilities?
Right, Aristotle theory really help us to understand why we are human beings. I think the better way to put this is that what makes us living organisms because other organisms also has brains but their dependence with situations and capabilities make them different from us.
You mean the featherless bipeds?
Your amazing videos develop neuroplasticity in my brain.
SACHIN SUNDARESAN I doubt that honestly.
carolyn mmitchell Honesty is the best policy.😜😁
I thin this is one of my favorite looking videos so far from this channel
Great animation ted ed !
The animation here is amazing!
The animating in this, like all Ted ed Vids, is fantastic.
Very interesting video. It’s so cool that we can make these sort of stuff now to learn more about ourselves. Also, the animator did a really amazing job. Well done!
We will all grow a better one for ourselves.
I definitely will.
I like my brain
But will it be you?
Timerºº Very Nice question. I would say yes. Depends on how it's done. If its just an add-on that helps you think better. It would be okay. Now, if it disturbate the way you think, or some part of your brain is removed by "an improved one" Then... NO
No it will not be you, same way your kids aren't you.
NicosoftNT
Indeed, "add-ons" may be a way to ensure it's still you. But well, our bodies are completely renewed as years pass, and we still feel like the same person, consciousness is still a big mystery.
this is so cool!! Thank you Ted-Ed!!!
i can't get over the animation
This is the BEST ANIMATIONS I've ever seen in a Ted-Ed video!
I love the analogy. The way the brain organoid is compared to a plane. Thank you, TED-Ed!
Love your vids
Amazing animations!
*I love the new animation style!!!*
That was awesome!
The animation is so strikingly good
Now this is actually an extremely interesting video. Definitely given me some inspiration as a writer!
Loved the animation, could someone advise me on how this is done? I'd like to learn more
This is fascinating. I never knew this was a thing!
That is great animation concept. Thank you for that animators
I love this animation!
This animation are gonna make me cry
Interesting info!!!
man this is INSANE! never been so mind blown like this to scientific stuff before
Those animations are amazing
Great work and very easy to understand!
Yet we are still missing the big picture including the effects of diet, sleep on our cortex and the effects of diseases on the construction and deconstruction of synapses basically our memories and learning!
Literally amazing animation!! Can you explain the dynamo effect which cause the earths magnetic field to work! Because if we are saying that earth has its magnetic field due to its molten iron core, than the core shouldn't be a magnetic thing as magnet looses its magnetism on heating! Plzz answer if you can!
Amazing, thank you
This video was amazing
2:53 SQUID GAME??
phenomenal animation work btw
I love this channel
Very interesting though a really scary idea as well. thank you @Ted-Ed, all the best!
For context: a bee has 100,000 neurons
Nice video mann
what is the differences between learning in ur puberty/childhood vs at 20, in terms of art/creativity, philosophy, science, physical skills like sports/martial arts, is it too late and whats the differences
This video is a work of art
I work in one of these labs! We use our spheroids as models for TBI, Ischemic stroke, neurotoxicology, and more!
Hi, researcher here from a different field. I was always wondering what software do you use?
I love the animation
Classic animation , I love soooo much . Love form India !!!!
Considering human brains can be grown in a womb, a lab isn't that far fetched.
graphics are soo good!
Thumbs up for animation...👍👌
The animation is Nooice! 👌👏
I am amazed!
Makes me think how incredibly complex life is. A complete human/ animal/ ... just originates from 2 cells that came together.
Amazing!!!
This animation style pleases me.
Cutest animation!!!!
Tha plane example was perfect, i love how you explain things, i wish u was my bilogi teatchers
this animation is masterfully done... my god
The animation is really cute. I feel like watching Monument Valley if it's used to explain science. Definitely love it!
Mini brain blown!
nice art work
How can I donate skin cells to study the effects of chronic pain on the brain?
+Chris Mason: You could rub your finger over your skin. Then you'd have *_THOUSANDS_* of skin cells to work with. Or if you want *_alive_* skin, you could get a doctor, and have some sort of biopsy!
Man how do you animate! Amazing!
"He" doesnt animate, multiple people work together like a company
Actually i think they *are* a company
Can you tell me which software they use?
Utkarsh Gupta must be adobe after effects and/or adobe premiere pro
Scientists make rally smart being then say we cant make them
Get it
