Inspiring New Thinking to Restore Function after Spinal Cord Injury: Gregoire Courtine at TEDxCHUV

- 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 in Experimental Medicine. After a Post-doctoral training at the University of California (UCLA), he established his own laboratory at the university of Zurich. He recently accepted the International paraplegic foundation (IRP) chair in spinal cord repair at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL). His laboratory focuses on the development of interventions to improve recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI). He published several articles proposing radically new approaches for restoring function after SCI, which were discussed in international press extensively. He received numerous honors such as the UCLA Chancellor's award, and the Schellenberg Prize for his advances in SCI research.
About TEDx:
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

This is a great talk! Not only scientifically excellent, but also socially impressive. Strongly recommend to watch!
A rare example of truly good neuroscience.
amazing work, congratulations gregoire, keep up the good work!
Great speech.
As of a few days ago 3 paralyzed people could walk because of this type of research. Now read the comments to this video.
These stories always come from a remote and inaccessible part of the world in a hospital that no one has ever heard of , and never in a populated common area , where lots of people live. And the treatment is always five or ten years in the future.
How long I have to wait for this treatment from my local hospital in Canada? It is too much suffering from spinal cord injury in very minute and day.
How your condition now
I would like to have a treatment like he said in this video clip please.
I got so much suffering in life after I got spinal cord injury T5 completed.
Me too. Where. can I get this treatment
"How wonderful it is! How powerful the spirit of man, while his body is so weak! If the susceptibilities of the spirit control him, there is no created being more heroic, more undaunted than man.. Therefore, it is divinely intended that the spiritual susceptibilities of man should gain precedence and overrule his physical forces..." ~ ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Baha'i Faith
Is it available for human? Which country is this?

How long you researchers will keep doing something for spinal cord injury treatment and then stop it as soon as get huge money from big pharma?
My injury is from c2 to c6 is there any possibility for me to recover.?
Well how did it go
How are u doing now?
test me please!!!
One day one of of these therapies will work. But the fundamental understanding of biology is not there yet. I recommend anyone with an acquired SCI accept their disability and adapt to their circumstances. These types of videos champion being able to WALK which is the least of the problems for people with SCI. The therapies they invent won't be for people who have been injured several years ago because so many physiological changes will have happened that the therapy would be super difficult and painful. It will happen, one day but don't base your life on it. Good luck to the researchers out there, one day you will find the answer - just like antibiotics and transplants.
blah blah, 18 years post and still the same words like 'could', 'may one day', 'with more research'. This guy is excited about things i read 12 years ago. Where are we now.
Right
surprise, he achieved it, 3 people are walking now because of him, what have you done? hmmmm?
Wood Chuck ..I wouldn't be too hard on him..he sounds like someone who could be crippled. I am myself from spinal cord injury...and his comment is very relatable.
As a cripple you watch these type presentations
with a part of you on the edge of your seat, only to once again hear 'one day' etc.
8 years old video. That’s not much.
stage of bs
Thankfully, this visionary refused to agree with the "scientific consensus" that argued that the science was settled.
Useless video. And as on Today 7 YEARS PASSED is there any Human. Can benifited.
Yes there is, his work has been slowed by laws, but now it works. Some patients can benefit this system, and walk without electric stimulation despite spinal cord injury.
So, please, don't criticize work of great scientist, not knowing all the aspects that make his efforts hard. I know this man and he has literally dedicated his life to paralyzed people. He is a modern hero.

@Romain Kubiak ok then give us info how to get treatment. He can stand there and talk all he wants but he doesn't do anything im tired of this bs! People are suffering, and all he does is talk. How about tell us how or where to get it. Useless unless he actually does something. You Roman, tell me where in US I can get treatment if you think he's brilliant.
