of just looking at the brain a team at stanford says they've built their own or at least part of one the trick. is that the brain tissue known as an ergonoid doesn't live in a human's head. it lives in a rats. and so we've done this by transplanting the organoids early in the developing wrath. so at a time where when the rap brain is still plastic and can still form new connections sergey paschke as a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the stanford school of medicine. he says the first step was to create the brain tissue using what are known as pluripotent stem cells. they've derived from skin samples and can be coaxed into developing into any kind of cell in the body including these beating heart cells, but instead of just can get a dish pashka's team transplanted the cells onto the brain of a living rat they soon watched as blood vessels connected and the human neurons began to grow and we've

discovered that it starts to connect with the sum of the circuitry of the wrath and so for instance it receives input from the thalamus which is a very important structure in the middle of the brain that relays information from census this animation provided by stanford illustrates what happened next researchers were able to confirm that sensations from the rats whiskers were being processed by the human brain cells later the engineered cells that were sensitive to a colored light then top the rat to associate the light with the reward behavior again being processed through the human brain tissue. the stanford team is careful to say they are not working to create a humanized rat, but rather a platform where they can research dise. is drugs and therapies that could never be done on the living human the stanford team believes that could provide critical insight into forms of autism and epilepsy and perhaps

conditions including psychiatric disorders as well. we've made little progress in understanding the biology of this condition primarily because the human brain is inaccessible, but with this new access they're hoping faster testing will lead to new drugs and even a powerful new way of studying the human brain joe being a fortson abc 7 news. and the stanford team says they've been able to create organoids that mirror tissue from different areas of the brain potentially allowing for varied research studies. credible work that they've done there lisa. all right. yes. good morning to you zach. hi everyone starting out with a dark looking view of emeryville, but things will brighten up first. we'll wake up to the gray sky then sunshine with temperatures in the upper 60s and your average today for you and many cities around the bay, but we'll talk about below average numbers hanging on for some of you in a warm-up fore into next week details coming up. all right, lisa. thank you and also next the warriors. we're back at chase center last

with a deeper marine layer looking at below average numbers tomorrow then that marine layer scatters scatters out for more sun and with that a little bit more warmth as we get into early next week middle of the week looks to be the warmest days that's above average not extreme though. and you know, this is the time of year zach where we watch out for those offshore wins, and we have been very lucky this summer into the fall. yeah. i've really been loving it. it's been so interesting in the south bay in the mornings the last couple of mornings. i've really needed to have my heavy jacket with me and then as the hours go on i'm sweating. yeah feeling it all. yeah layers. it's all about layers living here in the bay area and we thank you so much. all right safe guarding the wildlife and natural resources along our coasts in san francisco bay is part of building a better bay area and when it comes to protecting the whales that migrate through our waters, the solutions are becoming even more sophisticated abc 7 news. anchor dan ashley has more as a researcher at the marine mammal center bill keener has been watching san francisco bay for decades, but he says lately there's been a lot more to keep

an eye on. well, the humpbacks are in this this straight area and the golden gate bridge, but the gray whales tend to go farther in even passed alcatraz islands. he says the number of visits into the bay by certain whale species have increased significantly, although it's difficult to isolate a single cause researchers suspect the pressure on their food sources from climate change is having an impact. keener says the humpbacks are often following anchovy closer to shore a phenomenon. sometimes known as habitat compression while gray whales which typically migrate between mexico and alaska may be facing similar pressures. some of them we noticed were starving. they were actually so hungry. they were coming into the bay and looking for food. there's not much in the bay for them. normally. they feed way up north in alaska our recent study by noah found the overall gray whale population along the coast dropping significantly and in the last decade researchers have been documenting a variety of

threats to whales tied to everything from food migration to human behavior in response agencies, like no up the national oceanic and atmospheric administration have made it a priority to keep visiting wales safer, especially in the busy shipping channels that run along our coastline danielle lipsky is research coordinator with noah and the greater farallon's cordell bank national marine sanctuaries. the group has been monitoring whale populations with the help. the buoy-based system that literally allows them to eavesdrop. localizing whales in the area here then we listen is that there are whales in the region for a lot longer than we thought humpback whales are pretty much here year-round. and the season for blue whales and fin whales is also longer than we thought she says that data is combined with ocean surveys to inform the agency's ship strike program which asks shipping companies to slow down in areas where multiple species of whales are vulnerable.

so this year partially based on that information. we extended our voluntary speed reduction request to be longer in the year. so we extended until december this year and next year starting in 2023. we're going to be looking to extending that even further and that surveillance is getting an added layer as well several weeks ago. we showed you a new monitoring system called whale safe deployed in a collaboration by the marine mammal center and benny off ocean science laboratory. it's able to transmit real-time updates including the speeds of nearby ships. well, the narrowest spot is the most dangerous back in the morning. we're in headlands bill keener is concerned both about the the whales and better. standing of the potential changes to their complex ecosystem learning whether the shifting patterns in feeding and migration are temporary or a longer-term effect of climate change or other factors. well, i think everything's changing out in the ocean and so before 2016 we didn't see

humpbacks coming into feed. so i think things could go up and down over the years that we might get more in some years and less than some and other years unpredictable changes that could ultimately force humans to adapt our behavior along with the whales in san francisco, dan ashley abc 7 news. a lot more to come on abc 7 mornings. we'll be right ba what's it like having xfinity internet with supersonic wifi? it's fast... like beyond-gig-speed fast.
