Generation of human nucleus basalis organoids with functional nbM-cortical cholinergic projections in transplanted assembloids
The nucleus basalis of Meynert (nbM) regulates cortical function and cognition. Liu and colleagues report a method for creating human nbM organoids (hnbMOs) containing cholinergic projection neurons that form functional connections with the cortex. This work provides a model to investigate nbM circuits and cholinergic dysfunction in neurological disorders.
