Inspiring New Thinking to Restore Function after Spinal Cord Injury: Gregoire Courtine
Functional restoration after SCI has been interpreted as the need to promote long-distance regeneration. More immediate strategies may exploit spared circuitries, inspiring new thinking for therapeutic designs. Grégoire Courtine was trained in Mathematics and Physics, but received his PhD degree … Continue reading
