A viral post claims new research shows the brain is actually two co-located yet independent organs that develop from two entirely separate progenitor cell populations in early development. The finding reportedly has big implications for research areas such as ALS, and raises the provocative idea of ethically creating brainless clones for organ transplantation. Details of the underlying study are not included in the post.
