Implant may solve paralysis

Partially paralyzed Rhesus monkeys can now walk, thanks to a brain implant. The device is designed to send messages from the brain to an implant in the monkeys' spines, positioned at the eighth spot to control the monkeys' affected legs.

According to a study published in "Nature," the monkeys were able to walk on a treadmill six days after the start of the experiment.

Researchers say it could be possible to see clinical testing on humans in the near future.
