Wait, poor spinal capacity.

In the spinal ward, that's normal.

It's pressure. Have you done a spinal puncture?

Every patient we do has an absolutely bespoke implant.

They moved me from intensive care to acute spinal.

I was lying on a thin, hard spinal bed.

Cochlear implant users cannot tell the difference between these instruments.

She had a spina bifida defect, a spinal cord abnormality.

Most cochlear implant users cannot tell the difference between an instrument.

You can pop that structure out of the printer and implant it.

The spinal cord had breaks. The neurons were crossing in every which way.

You can implant it in the body without needing to retrieve what is implanted.

In fact, most implant users really struggle and dislike music because it sounds so bad.

We would be thrilled if we had one semitone pitch perception in cochlear implant users.

This implant is not transmitting the quality of music that usually provides things like warmth.

So for whatever reason, this implant is not successfully stimulating auditory cortices during melody perception.

He's deaf, and he learned to play the piano after he received the cochlear implant.

It paralyzes you. It starts by killing the motor neurons in your spinal cord.

Well, there wasn't much else to do in the spinal ward, so we did.

There is the brain stem in between the cerebral cortex and the spinal cord.

And now today we have the modern multi channel cochlear implant, which is an outpatient procedure.

And not long after I got my cochlear implant, I started learning how to play piano.

13. We may also add genetic applications in the area of prenatal or pre implant diagnosis.

And then I remembered my friends that were still in the spinal ward, particularly Maria.

In late August 2004, he underwent surgery at the Cairo university hospital on spinal discs.

They picked as much broken bone as they could that had lodged in my spinal cord.

This was a device that a nurse uses when they're doing a spinal procedure in hospital.

A few weeks later, you have your engineered organ that we're able to implant back into the patient.

I love here the cyberkinetics implant, which was, again, the only patient's data that was online and available.

And who knows, maybe in another 10 years we'll be here with the ultimate sixth sense brain implant.

laterally, vertically, up and down in the spinal cord and they start interacting with other adjacent cells.

KA Sort of like the Spinal Tap scene where you get the tiny little Stonehenge, I guess?

In the police van, he was repeatedly kicked on the back, causing damage to his spinal cord.

Therefore, if we can find the right cells and implant them in the body, they may do the healing.

And each of us knew that when we left the spinal ward we would never be the same.

Geron, just last year, started the first trial using human embryonic stem cells to treat spinal cord injuries.

The headquarters for orgasm, along the spinal nerve, is something called the sacral nerve root, which is back here.

Typically an implant is more effective within the body if it's more porous, because our body tissue will grow into it.

Now we've been doing some studies to really get a sense of what sound quality is like for these implant users.

I was airlifted from the scene of the accident by a rescue helicopter to a large spinal unit in Sydney.

But there's millions of deaf people in the world, and the Cochlear implant has given hearing to thousands of deaf people now.

Heart disease, stroke, diabetes, spinal cord injury, muscular dystrophy, retinal eye diseases are any of these conditions relevant, personally, to you?

Therapeutic cloning offered the prospect of a breakthrough in conquering diabetes, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injuries, cancer and even HIV AIDS.

As we speak, the world's first human embryonic stem cell trial for spinal cord injury is currently underway following the USFDA approval.

And here is actually the spinal column and the whole torso encased in a sandstone block, because she was buried by a river.
