Interfacing the nervous system for rehabilitation

Memory loss, tremors, paralysis: when parts of the nervous system start to break down – or get broken – the consequences for human health can be staggering. Can we fix the nervous system, and how are scientists approaching the problem? We take a deep dive into various strategies for interfacing with the nervous system to restore neuronal function.
