Center for Neurotechnology (CNT) Co-Director, Chet Moritz, was recently quoted in The New York Times, Newsweek, Scientific American, Forbes and Nature in regard to research studies focused on an experimental, pacemaker-like device that offers new hope for better treating spinal cord injuries.

“The exciting thing about these findings is that they hold out the promise that spinal cord injuries can be cured, to an extent that restores walking,” Moritz said in the Times' article, “Once Paralyzed, Three Men Take Steps Again With Spinal Implant.”

These articles all ran on or close to the same day that Moritz' paper, “A giant step for spinal cord injury research” published in Nature Neuroscience. In his piece, Moritz provides an overview, analysis and in-depth commentary on this latest development in spinal cord injury research.
