Human brain cells grafted into mice brains function and integrate.
- Cells susceptible to Alzheimer's show degradation faster than mouse brain cells, suggesting humans are more susceptible.
- Cells with Downs syndrome show weaker interconnections
- Cells join and function in various circuits of the mouse brain, but effect on function not yet evaluated.

The brain is very interesting. How much does there need to be before this thing is a human?
