Fundamentals of Brain Organoids for Neurological Diseases, 1st Edition, provides a dedicated reference on generating three-dimensional tissue structures from human-induced pluripotent stem cells to model central nervous system disorders. The text guides clinical professionals and active researchers through concepts required to construct and analyze brain organoid models.

The thematic organization covers key neurodevelopmental conditions, detailing how organoids aid in investigating autism, Rett Syndrome, and bipolar disorder. Additionally, the volume addresses major neurodegenerative pathologies, focusing on organoid applications for Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease.

A defining element of the text is its focus on practical translation, highlighting drug targeting methodologies alongside active clinical trials that use brain organoids. This structured scope prepares readers in clinical and academic settings to evaluate organoid platforms across disease contexts.
