#Electrically stimulating the spinal cord instantly restores some ability to control the arm and hands in people who have had a stroke, US researchers say.
Heather Rendulic was able to cut and eat a steak by herself for the first time in nine years.
The University of Pittsburgh team say more research is needed to see who can benefit, as the spinal implants have been tested in only two people."

The majority of brain cancers (#gliomas) are very invasive and symptom onset often includes extraordinary changes to behaviors or dramatic side effects like #seizures. Recent studies showed that glioma cells reshape their microenvironment & form #electrically functional pseudo-synapses with neurons to integrate into the brain's #microcircuitry.

So one question naturally arises: What the hell is going on?
