THAT aspect is very old, it's been routine for decades to culture human
neurons from biopsy samples or even cadaver tissue. Heck, human neurons
have been grown from de-differentiated muscle cells in culture (assuming
you don't subscribe to the view that these results are suspect, which
has been suggested).
