  • Beware

    Louise showed up in my brother in laws hospital room after his spinal fusion surgery. She lied to hospital staff saying she was our family member, told them his parents sent her, and tried to impede patient care then refused to leave when asked. This lady has many screws loose and should not be trusted. She scared my BIL so much he wanted to call the police. Louise, you’re awful.

  • This woman is insane

    She showed up in my brother’s hospital room claiming to be a family member after his spinal cord injury (which by the grace of god, did not render him paralyzed) and tried to scare him with false information about his accident that she read about online and embellished upon. She’s absolutely insane. Such a violation of privacy, hope she gets arrested.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#317 The Hidden Intelligence of the Human Spine with Dr. Susan Harkema
Q: How did you prove central pattern generation could operate in humans after SCI?
Through treadmill-based locomotor training with epidural stimulation, mapping of neural and muscle properties, and carefully designed studies that demonstrated standing and stepping in people with chronic complete injuries, challenging dogma that the brain is the sole driver.
#317 The Hidden Intelligence of the Human Spine with Dr. Susan Harkema
Q: What sparked your interest in the hidden intelligence of the spinal cord?
Susie explains a serendipitous journey from basic muscle physiology to studying spinal cord circuits, sparked by a personal connection to SCI and a decisive lunch moment with Gerard Marino that redirected her career toward human-based research.
#318 The Cellular Detective Who Rewrote Spinal Cord Injury Science
Q: What message might you give now to surgeons about spinal cord injury?
Balance hope with realism, acknowledge potential for recovery, and stay informed about cutting-edge research so you can guide patients and families with up-to-date understanding of what may be possible.
#316 The First Electronic Bridge Between Brain, Body and Spinal Cord with Dr. Chad Bouton
Q: Can you help us understand what it means when you say signals on the surface of the brain can indicate movement intention despite paralysis?
It means there are accessible electrical patterns in the brain that correlate with movement intention, which we can decode with implants and AI to control devices or stimulate muscles, effectively bypassing damaged pathways.
#298 The Architecture of Neural Repair with Dr. Pengzhe Lu
Q: How close are we to translating these approaches into human trials?
Clinical translation is approaching, with discussions of gene therapy and induced pluripotent stem cells, but current trials are not yet in humans; researchers are addressing delivery, ethics, and safety while preparing for future first-generation stem cell transplant trials in the next few years.
