Here is an interesting report about advances in treating paralysis using computer games, brain cells and monkeys (monkeys not required for eventual human use):

Nice vid. I just did a blog post about that experiment, but I hadn't seen a video about it.
Off topic, but I would also recommend checking out this vid;

It's about the computer simulation of the brain that researchers are undertaking (Blue Brain). Fascinating stuff.

Mike, thanks for that link, very interesting, and yes, fascinating. I checked out the video on your blog about the Blue Brain project. Reverse engineering the brain for simulation based research is an amazing concept. I hope it gets more attention from mainstream science news.
