Once again, the rats were placed on the treadmill, in the harness, and their spinal cords were tickled by the stimulator.
The brain stimulator gave patients bigger improvements in their emotional well-being and ability to think that would have been expected in sicker patients.
He then switched on the treadmill while the stimulator was running, to try to encourage the rats to walk using their back legs alone.
His team is already collaborating with researchers at University College, London, and Finetech Medical, a British firm, to design a human version of the stimulator.
Unfortunately, the XBox giant walking battle robot stimulator has been discontinued.
But only when the treadmill was running and the stimulator working.
In fact, high technology has been the principal engine of our economic growth over the past four years and the major stimulator of the stock market.
Her ups and downs are the same that any healthy person would experience -- as long as the battery in the stimulator implanted under her collarbone remains charged.
It's just a matter of putting a wire in the heart and a wire in the skin, and connecting it up to Dr. Johnson's electrical stimulator, and it worked.
The bad version of the gene appears to boost osteoporosis risk by limiting the production of the BMP-2 protein, a key molecular stimulator of bone growth, says Dr. Stefansson.

By connecting leads from Cyberonics' nerve stimulator to extensions of the vagus nerve near the stomach, Roslin hopes to amplify the "I'm full" signal in obese patients, so that they don't overeat.
Benlysta is delivered directly into a vein (intravenous infusion) and is the first inhibitor designed to target B-lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS) protein, which may reduce the number of abnormal B cells thought to be a problem in lupus.

An epilepsy patient could have a pacemaker for the brain: An electrode array like Donoghue's could pick up signals that lead to a seizure, and a stimulator could fire and reset the brain before the seizure takes hold.
But Saxe's lab, using a machine called a transcranial magnetic stimulator, which applies an electromagnetic pulse to a targeted point in the brain, can temporarily disable the function in the TPJ and change what people think about someone else's actions.
It was in the fall of 1956 that a young physiologist, Dr. Jack Johnson at the University of Minnesota, said you know, to Dr. Lillehei and the rest of them, 'I've been pacing frog hearts for five years with an electrical stimulator.
