Spinal cord injury repair update

Reggie Edgerton, and collaborators at U Kentucky, have successfully helped a paralyzed man regain some function in his lower extremities -- both with motor control and autonomic function -- thanks in part to the years of work Dr. Edgerton has done at UCLA in the study of spinal cord "learning," repair, and re-learning. Expect more to come from this work in the future. UCLA is an exciting place to be.
