AB  - We  live  in  a  time  that  is  ripe  with  possibilities.  Advances  in  technology,  pharmacology,  and  biomedical  sciences  have  positioned  us  on  the  brink  of  unparalleled  discoveries  that  are  sure  to  transform  the  lives  of  individuals  with  disability.  Then  again,  we  are  not  quite  there.  In  the  past  15  years,  in  the  field  of  spinal  cord  injury  research  alone,  there  have  been  countless  millions  of  dollars  spent  on  basic  and  clinical  trials  of  pharmacological  and  cellular  transplantation  approaches  aimed  at  restoration  of  neural  function.  Studies  of  stem  cells,  fetal  tissue  transplants,  activated  macrophages,  and  olfactory  ensheathing  glial  cells,  just  to  name  a  few.  Despite  amazing  progress,  there  are  still  critical  pieces  to  the  puzzles  of  neurologic  restoration  that  remain  mysterious.
