[@YuppiBum]

Great news, and for a change the kind of technology, that actually saves lives.

[@squamish4244]

I always find it stunning how incredible advances like this are buried under the weight of all the bad news. Humans are literally never satisfied with anything. Unless _they're_ the paralyzed ones.

[@diegomigs90]

Ive been paralise for 9 years now,great news for us but still we cant avail the technology bcuz lack of resources.. i hope someone will notice this.. im willing to volunter for any experiment as long as i can walk again.

[@liquid79]

Wonder how it affects bowel and bladder. Can the patient get those functions back?

[@okamijubei]

That'll be possible but that would also be another story.

[@jaesonpaige8632]

Yes it does. It sends electrical signals to the spinal cord which can control motor functions such as bowel & bladder

[@disabledflytier2859]

What about hand function?

[@dipakchaudhuri1721]

Does it affect can both bladder and bowel sphincter l don't know. If it restores those it will be a milestone perhaps.

Hmm Spinal cord is the primary controller 🤔😮 meaning is itself the brain of human motor system. Wow so the spinal cord could act indepedently of the brain???? Well we always study the nervous system as brain and spinal cord together anyways but is most of our actual movement due to our Spinal cord over everything else?
