"Once thought impossible, repairing the damaged nervous system is now entering the realm of feasibility. Two important concepts are shortening the path to successful restoration: 1) It is not necessary to cure a nervous system injury, and 2) a disproportionate return of function can result from a small degree of regeneration.
