Scientists in Switzerland have successfully rehabilitated rats with spinal cord injuries to the point where they can walk again.
In a recent journal article published by Science, Grégoire Courtine of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology explains how he and his team re-wired the brains of rats experiencing paralysis from spinal cord injuries to make use of alternate neural pathways and eventually use their lower limbs once again.
According to the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, human clinical trials are set to take place two years from now.
