Cultured neuronal network

A cultured neuronal network (CNN) is a way of using cells grown in the lab to create a tiny "brain" or network of cells that can respond to signals like a real human brain. Scientists can use these networks to study things like how the brain works, and how the body's nervous system responds to the environment. By studying a cultured neuronal network, scientists can learn about how the brain processes information and other things about how it works.
