Stanford scientists assemble human nerve circuit driving voluntary movement

Clark Center building resident and Stanford Bio-X affiliated faculty member Sergiu Pasca, collaborating with Stanford Bio-X affiliated faculty member Hannes Vogel, used human stem cells to assemble a working nerve circuit connecting brain tissue to muscle tissue. The research, which was supported by Stanford Bio-X, could enable scientists to better understand neurological disorders that affect movement.
