脊椎损伤可能会切断你的大脑与肢体的神经连接，导致瘫痪。格雷瓜尔·库尔蒂纳展示了一项他的实验室的最新成果——通过结合药物、电刺激和一个辅助机械臂—— 能够重新激活肢体中的神经回路并帮助身体重新学习行走。让我们来看看他是如何让一只已经瘫痪的老鼠，能够重新站起来甚至爬楼梯的。

让瘫痪的老鼠重新站起来

Spinal cord injuries devastate more than 50,000 people worldwide each year, often causing lifelong paralysis. In a Swiss lab, a paralyzed rat regained the ability to run and climb stairs using a combination of drugs, electrical stimulation, and robotic support. This approach awakens dormant neural networks in the spinal cord, encouraging the brain to forge new pathways and restore voluntary movement. The results hint at a future where personalized neuroprosthetics could help humans recover lost mobility.
