The Paralyzed Rat That Walked
From: Medical Design Technology - 11/06/2013

A spinal cord injury can sever the communication between your brain and your
body, leading to paralysis. Fresh from his lab, Gregoire Courtine shows a new
method - combining drugs, electrical stimulation and a robot - that could
re-awaken the neural pathways and help the body learn again to move on its
own. See how it works, as a paralyzed rat becomes able to run and navigate
stairs.
