Here's some great news for the future of paralysis treatment. As we all know, spinal cord injuries are a serious matter that can adversely affect a person's life. Whether due to car accidents or otherwise, these types of trauma can leave a person unable to walk.

Well scientists have figured out how paralyzed mice can regain some of their ability walk again, even if it's not a hundred percent fixed. After giving them injuries in the lab, they observed movement again after ten weeks. This was due to the fact that short nerve connections found a way to detour the injury!

In the past, they believed the only way to heal this condition would be to regrow long nerves from the brain to the spinal cord. However this research tells a different story. If these spontaneous shorter connections can be replicated with such success in humans, scientists may be able to cure paralysis. Let's hope they figure out how!
