A team of researchers has developed a method to deeply stimulate the lateral hypothalamus. They claim that the brain and nervous system are capable of recovery when properly stimulated. The study authors noted that hypothalamic stimulation activates an unexpected neural pathway that had not previously been considered as a means of restoring motor activity. This finding was made possible by a project to map the brain and study the functions of its various parts. After successful animal tests, scientists moved on to clinical tests on humans, which demonstrated an immediate effect. One of the experimental participants, who had been using a wheelchair since 2006 after a skiing accident, was able to move short distances and significantly improved his overall mobility thanks to the new therapy. Scientists say the discovery could significantly change the approach to treating spinal cord injuries and other neurological diseases. For example - stroke and Parkinson's disease
