Very interesting result but it's sad reading about having a 9 month old baby's brain tissue being cut up into 2-3mm chunks. I didn't know that brain tissue extraction was used to treat seizures. With the retraction of some papers in China due to ethics of samples being taken from unwilling minority groups I was hoping to see a bit more about where the samples came from in the paper.
