let�*s now speak to dr marco capogrosso, one of the main researchers. you forjoining us. you are part of the study. forjoining us. you are part of the study-— forjoining us. you are part of the study. explain exactly how it works. basically, _ the study. explain exactly how it works. basically, we - it works. basically, we normally, imagine stroke as a brain disease, some that in the brand, as a consequence of a disruption of a blood vessel or sometimes the interruption of a blood vessel but does not bring oxygen to the brand. what happens in reality is that damage destroys the connections between our brain and our spinal cord, which is where it controls movement. what if there is a technology that could allow us to amplify those signals that trickle down the lesion that are surviving, and restore the capability of these to move what we did was a lot of research and found that there are specific spots in the spinal cord located in the neck to restore movement that would allow the cells inside the spinal cord to lesion again after stroke and enable peopl

earlier dr marco capogrosso who is one of the main researchers at the university of pittsburgh explainednormally imagine strokes as a brain disease, something that occurs in the brain, and it's true that there's a lesion that happens in the brain as a consequence of a disruption of a blood vessel or sometimes the interruption of a blood vessel that does not bring oxygen to the brain. what happens in reality is that that damage destroys the connections between our brain and our spinal cord, which is where the signals where we control movement are located. what we thought was, what if there is a technology that could allow us to amplify those signals that trickle down the lesions that are surviving, and restore the capability of these people to move again? what we did was a lot of research and found that there are specific spots in the spinal cord located in the neck, to restore movement, that would allow the cells inside the spinal cord to lesion again to these weakened signals after the stroke and enable people to move. it's in its clinical stages. you've tried it on a few different peop

earlier dr marco capogrosso who is one of the main researchers at the university of pittsburgh explained is a brain disease, something that occurs in the brain. it is true that there is a lesion and consequently there is a blood vessel rupturing. and that deprives the brain of oxygen. but what happens is that the damage destroys the connections between our brain and the spinal cord which is where the secrets to movement are located. so we thought what if there was a technology that could allow us to defy those signals that trickle down the lesion, that are surviving, and restore so people can move again. so we did a lot of research and found that there are specific spots inside the spinal cord and that would allow the spinal cord to listen again to the weekend signals and enable people to move after and enable people to move after a stroke. it and enable people to move after a stroke. , , a stroke. it is still in clinical— a stroke. it is still in clinical stages. - a stroke. it is still in clinical stages. you | a stroke. it is still in - clinical stages. you tried it out on a few diffe

dr marco capogrosso, one of the main researchers, explained how the treatment works.is a legion that happens in the brain, in consequence the disruption of a blood vessel or sometimes the interruption of a blood vessel that doesn't bring oxygen to the brain, but what happens in reality is that damage destroys the connections between our brain and our spinal—cord, which is where the sequence that control movement are located. so what we thought, what if there was a technology that will allow us to amplify those signals that trickle down the legion that are surviving, and restore the capability of these people to move again? so what we did was we did a lot of research and found there are specific spots inside the spinal—cord that is located in the neck of the people to restore our movement would allow this sense inside the spinal—cord to listen again to these weakened signals after the stroke and enable people to move. 0ne the stroke and enable people to move. one thing to say is we actually utilise technology thatis actually utilise technology that is clinically approv
