Aren’t regions of the brain associated with function? What region is picked for harvesting?

Brain stem is probably predictable but rather basic.

The rat neurons were harvested from the frontal cortex, and the human neurons were harvested from fibroblasts in a baby’s foreskin, and then given chemical signals to make them into stem cells, and then to make those stem cells turn into frontal lobe neurons.
