In a recent experiment, lab-grown brain tissues were able to solve a fundamental engineering problem, and the results may help researchers probe how neurological disease alters the brain's capacity for plasticity. "We're trying to understand the fundamentals of how neurons can be adaptively tuned to solve problems,” says Ash Robbins, robotics and artificial intelligence researcher at the University of California-Santa Cruz.
