Scientists at the Washington National Primate Research Center have found a way to restore movement to paralytic monkeys through the usance of brain implants . Equipped with roving electrode , these implant seek out and restore neural connections between in the brain and the rest of the body necessary for movement . According to theNew Scientist , the monkey was capable to move its wrist on a paralytic arm . accord to researchers , when someone becomes paralyze , the nerve cell that control movement stay participating , only missing the actual bridge between the wit and the body . These nerve cell stay awake and utter signals for geezerhood after paralysis . The electrodes are able-bodied to detect where the unattackable movement signal is coming from , and confiscate itself to that field of the brain . So far connections only last for about four week or so , but researchers hope to meliorate on this follow through the find on humans . [ New Scientist ]
