The Wonders of Monkeys

Recently, scientists have discovered that monkeys can physically be able to use a paralyzed muscle just by using a single brain cell. These monkeys were taught how to play a computer game, and it helped with paralyzed wrists. Scientist say that these certain findings may also be a help to human patients who have had a stroke or a spinal chord injury. This can also mean that many paralyzed people may be able to do things such as grip a hair brush or or a tooth brush and be able to live a somewhat normal life again, says some scientists. This research is led to believe that people who can no longer walk, use their hands or arms (etc. etc.) may shortly be able to by just one brain cell. Studies even say that this research can enable people to posses certain talents that they didn't have before like wiggling ears, or noses. Imagine what it would be like to no longer have some of the senses you have this very minute. If you could suddenly get those back, it would mean the world to you! The human mind can do incredible things, and this is just the start of great, new findings.
