The ability to generate region-specific 3D models to study human brain development offers great promise for understanding the nervous system in both healthy individuals and patients. In this protocol we describe how to generate and assemble subdomain-specific forebrain spheroids, also known as brain-region specific organoids, from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). We describe how to pattern the neural spheroids towards either a dorsal forebrain or ventral forebrain fate, establishing human cortical spheroids (hCS) or, human subpallial spheroids (hSS), respectively. We also describe how to combine the neural spheroids in vitro to assemble forebrain assembloids that recapitulate the interactions of glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons seen in vivo. Astrocytes are also present in the human forebrain-specific spheroids and these undergo maturation when the forebrain spheroids are cultured long-term. The initial generation of neural spheroids from hPSCs occurs in less than one week, with regional patterning occurring over the subsequent 5 weeks. After the initial maturation stage, brain region-specific spheroids are amenable to a variety of assays, including live cell imaging, calcium signaling, electrophysiology, cell purification, single cell transcriptomics, and immunohistochemistry. Once generated, forebrain spheroids can also be matured for over 24 months in culture.
