Ohh nice... Have a bit of that to top my tan up in this hot weather I think. Have what I don't use on my body for lunch with a bit of salt. Heaven

Miniature "human brains" have been grown in a lab.

The pea-sized structures reached the same level of development as in a nine-week-old foetus, but are incapable of thought.

Prof Paul Matthews, from Imperial College London, told the BBC: "I think it's just mindboggling. The idea that we can take a cell from a skin and turn it into, even though it's only the size of a pea, is starting to look like a brain and starting to show some of the behaviours of a tiny brain, I think is just extraordinary.



Sound like anyone we know?
