The brain is a complex organ, and the development of brain organoid models is helping to study various new topics in neuroscience, including brain development, neurodegenerative diseases, neurodevelopmental diseases, tumors, and infectious diseases affecting the brain. Current research is mainly focused on human cerebral organoids, but there is a growing interest in establishing similar models in other species.
The brain is a complex organ and any model for studying it in its normal and pathological aspects becomes a tool of choice for neuroscientists. The mastering and dissemination of protocols allowing brain organoids development have paved the way for a whole range of new studies in the field of brain development, modeling of neurodegenerative or neurodevelopmental diseases, understanding tumors as well as infectious diseases that affect the brain. While studies are so far limited to the use of human cerebral organoids, there is a growing interest in having similar models in other species. This review presents what is currently developed in this field, with a particular focus on the potential of cerebral organoids for studying neuro-infectious diseases in human and domestic animals.
