Grégoire Courtine: The paralyzed rat that walked

The video discusses a researcher's journey in spinal cord injury recovery, inspired by Christopher Reeve. It covers the development of a new model to mimic human spinal cord injuries and an innovative approach to awaken dormant neural networks for locomotion. The use of robotics and training led to voluntary movement in paralyzed rats. Unexpectedly, the brain created new connections, suggesting potential for recovery. The video concludes with future implications of personalized neuroprosthetics for improving quality of life.
