They are spheres a few millimeters across composed of specially grown human nerve cells, which act as simulacra of brain tissue Now.

This idea, called reticular theory, imagined the nervous system as a massive web of tissue that physically connected every nerve cell in the body.

Norman Swan: Cindy Shannon Weickert. The unanswered question is what comes first; an immune system which damages these nerve cells, or something else makes the cells die and the immune system overreacts?

辛迪·香农·韦克特，未回答的问题是，什么是第一产生的;损害这些神经细胞的免疫系统， 还是让细胞死亡， 免疫系统反应过度？
