Malformations of the human cerebral cortex represent a major cause of developmental disabilities. To date, animal models carrying mutations of genes so far identified in human patients with brain malformations only partially recapitulate the expected phenotypes and therefore do not provide reliable models to entirely understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms responsible for these disorders. Hence, we combine the in vivo mouse model and the human brain organoids in order to better comprehend the mechanisms involved in the migration of neurons during human development and tackle the causes of neurodevelopmental disorders. Our results show that we can model human brain development and disorders using human brain organoids and contribute to open new avenues to bridge the gap of knowledge between human brain malformations and existing animal models.
