I am a neuroscientist

Ja sam neurolog
00:14
with a mixed background in physics and medicine.

sa mešanim obrazovanjem iz fizike i medicine.
00:17
My lab at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology

17882
5041
Moja laboratorija na Švajcarskom federalnom institutu tehnologije
00:22
focuses on spinal cord injury,
3
22923
3190
fokusirana je na oštećenja kičmene moždine,
koja pogađaju više od 50 000 ljudi
00:26
which affects more than 50,000 people
4
26113
2731
00:28
around the world every year,
5
28844
2690
širom sveta svake godine,
00:31
with dramatic consequences for affected individuals,
6
31534
3606
sa dramatičnim posledicama na pogođene pojedince,
00:35
whose life literally shatters
7
35140
2233
čiji se životi bukvalno ruše
00:37
in a matter of a handful of seconds.
8
37373
3235
u roku od svega nekoliko sekundi.
00:40
And for me, the Man of Steel,
9
40608
3058
A za mene, Čelični čovek,
00:43
Christopher Reeve,
10
43666
2204
Kristofer Riv,
00:45
has best raised the awareness
11
45870
2090
najbolje je podigao svest
00:47
on the distress of spinal cord injured people.
12
47960
2915
o neprijatnostima ljudi sa povredom kičmene moždine.
00:50
And this is how I started my own personal journey
13
50875
3139
A ovako sam započeo svoje sopstveno lično putovanje
u ovom polju istraživanja,
00:54
in this field of research,
14
54014
1499
00:55
working with the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation.
15
55513
3437
radeći sa Fondacijom Kristofera i Dane Riv.
00:58
I still remember this decisive moment.
16
58950
4596
Još uvek se sećam ovog presudnog trenutka.
01:03
It was just at the end of a regular day of work
17
63546
1951
Bio je to samo kraj uobičajenog dana na poslu sa fondacijom.
01:05
with the foundation.
18

01:07
Chris addressed us, the scientists and experts,
19
67040
4652
Kris se obratio nama, naučnicima i ekspertima:
01:11
"You have to be more pragmatic.
20
71692
3593
"Morate biti pragmatičniji.
01:15
When leaving your laboratory tomorrow,
21
75285
2352
Kada budete napuštali svoju laboratoriju sutra,
01:17
I want you to stop by the rehabilitation center
22
77637
2904
želim da svratite do rehabilitacionog centra
01:20
to watch injured people
23
80541
1609
da posmatrate povređene ljude
01:22
fighting to take a step,
24
82150
2025
kako se bore da zakorače,
01:24
struggling to maintain their trunk.
25
84175
2641
naprežući se da podrže svoj trup.
01:26
And when you go home,
26
86816
1413
A kada odete kući,
01:28
think of what you are going to change in your research
27
88229
2410
mislite o onome što ćete promeniti u svojem istraživanju
01:30
on the following day to make their lives better."
28
90639
3568
narednog dana kako biste učinili njihove živote boljim."
01:34
These words, they stuck with me.
29
94207
4053
Ove reči prilepile su se za mene.
01:38
This was more than 10 years ago,
30
98260
2391
Ovo je bilo pre više od 10 godina,
01:40
but ever since, my laboratory has followed
31
100651
2767
ali od tada, moja laboratorija je sledila
01:43
the pragmatic approach to recovery
32
103418
1963
pragmatični pristup ozdravljenju
01:45
after spinal cord injury.
33
105381
2411
nakon povrede kičmene moždine.
01:47
And my first step in this direction
34
107792
2041
I moj prvi korak u ovom pravcu
01:49
was to develop a new model of spinal cord injury
35
109833
3289
bio je razviti novi model oštećenja kičmene moždine
01:53
that would more closely mimic some of the key features of human injury
36
113122
3647
koji će približnije oponašati neke od ključnih svojstava ljudske povrede
01:56
while offering well-controlled experimental conditions.
37
116769
3372
dok će istovremeno pružati dobro kontrolisane eksperimentalne uslove.
02:00
And for this purpose, we placed two hemisections
38
120141
2567
I u ovu svrhu, postavili smo dve hemisekcije
02:02
on opposite sides of the body.
39
122708
1415
na različitim stranama tela.
02:04
They completely interrupt the communication
40
124123
2145
One su potpuno prekinule komunikaciju
02:06
between the brain and the spinal cord,
41
126268
2582
između mozga i kičmene moždine,
02:08
thus leading to complete and permanent paralysis
42
128850
2710
time dovevši do potpune i trajne paralize noge.
02:11
of the leg.
43
131560
1767
02:13
But, as observed, after most injuries in humans,
44
133327
3891
Ali, kako je primećeno, nakon većine povreda kod ljudi,
02:17
there is this intervening gap of intact neural tissue
45
137218
2950
postoji intervenišući međuprostor netaknutog nervnog tkiva
02:20
through which recovery can occur.
46
140168
2703
preko kojeg se može dogoditi oporavak.
02:22
But how to make it happen?
47
142871
3041
Ali kako učiniti da se to dogodi?
02:25
Well, the classical approach
48
145912
3361
Pa, klasični pristup
02:29
consists of applying intervention
49
149273
2636
se sastoji u primeni intervencija
02:31
that would promote the growth of the severed fiber
50
151909
2910
koje bi podstakle rast prekinutih vlakana
02:34
to the original target.
51
154819
2108
ka prvobitnom cilju.
02:36
And while this certainly remained the key for a cure,
52
156927
3751
I mada je ovo zasigurno ostalo ključno za ozdravljenje,
02:40
this seemed extraordinarily complicated to me.
53
160678
3515
meni se to činilo kao izuzetno komplikovano.
02:44
To reach clinical fruition rapidly,
54
164193
2725
Da bismo brzo postigli kliničku primenu,
02:46
it was obvious:
55
166918
1560
bilo je očigledno:
02:48
I had to think about the problem differently.
56
168478
3920
morao sam da razmišljam drugačije o problemu.
02:52
It turned out that more than 100 years of research
57
172398
3108
Ispostavilo se da je više od 100 godina istraživanja
02:55
on spinal cord physiology,
58
175506
1641
fiziologije kičmene moždine,
02:57
starting with the Nobel Prize Sherrington,
59
177147
2325
počevši od Nobelovca Šeringtona,
02:59
had shown that
60
179472
1807
pokazalo da
03:01
the spinal cord, below most injuries,
61
181279
2235
kičmena moždina, ispod većine oštećenja,
03:03
contained all the necessary and sufficient neural networks
62
183514
3253
sadrži sve neophodne i dovoljne mreže neurona
03:06
to coordinate locomotion,
63
186767
2320
da bi koordinisala kretanje,
ali pošto su ulazni podaci iz mozga prekinuti,
03:09
but because input from the brain is interrupted,
64
189087
2959
oni su u nefunkcionišućem stanju, kao vrsta uspavanosti.
03:12
they are in a nonfunctional state, like kind of dormant.
65
192046
3168
03:15
My idea: We awaken this network.
66
195214
4332
Moja ideja: probudimo ovu mrežu.
03:19
And at the time, I was a post-doctoral fellow in Los Angeles,
67
199546
4287
U to vreme, bio sam postdoktorant u Los Anđelesu,
03:23
after completing my Ph.D. in France,
68
203833
2566
nakon što sam završio svoje doktorske studije u Francuskoj,
03:26
where independent thinking
69
206399
1909
gde samostalno razmišljanje
03:28
is not necessarily promoted.
70
208308
3107
nije nužno podsticano.
03:31
(Laughter)
71
211415
1827
(Smeh)
03:33
I was afraid to talk to my new boss,
72
213242
3753
Plašio sam se da pričam sa svojim novim šefom,
03:36
but decided to muster up my courage.
73
216995
2393
ali sam rešio da prikupim hrabrost.
03:39
I knocked at the door of my wonderful advisor,
74
219388
2657
Pokucao sam na vrata mog divnog savetnika,
03:42
Reggie Edgerton, to share my new idea.
75
222045
3991
Redžija Edgertona, kako bih podelio svoju novu ideju.
Slušao me je pažljivo,
03:46
He listened to me carefully,
76
226036
2250
03:48
and responded with a grin.
77
228286
2941
i odgovorio sa smeškom.
03:51
"Why don't you try?"
78
231227
2043
"Zašto ne pokušaš?"
03:53
And I promise to you,
79
233270
2125
I kunem vam se,
03:55
this was such an important moment in my career,
80
235395
3355
ovo je bio tako značajan momenat u mojoj karijeri,
03:58
when I realized that the great leader
81
238750
2435
kada sam shvatio da je veliki vođa
04:01
believed in young people and new ideas.
82
241185
2993
verovao u mlade ljude i nove ideje.
04:04
And this was the idea:
83
244178
1608
A ovo je bila ideja:
04:05
I'm going to use a simplistic metaphor
84
245786
2666
koristiću pojednostavljenu metaforu
04:08
to explain to you this complicated concept.
85
248452
2126
da bih vam objasnio ovaj komplikovani koncept.
04:10
Imagine that the locomotor system is a car.
86
250578
4766
Zamislite da je sistem za kretanje automobil.
04:15
The engine is the spinal cord.
87
255344
2246
Motor je kičmena moždina.
04:17
The transmission is interrupted. The engine is turned off.
88
257590
3258
Prenos je prekinut. Motor je isključen.
04:20
How could we re-engage the engine?
89
260848
3007
Kako bismo mogli da reaktiviramo motor?
04:23
First, we have to provide the fuel;
90
263855
3142
Prvo, moramo obezbediti gorivo,
04:26
second, press the accelerator pedal;
91
266997
2343
drugo, pritisnuti pedalu za gas,
04:29
third, steer the car.
92
269340
1938
treće, upravljati autom.
04:31
It turned out that there are known neural pathways
93
271278
1762
Ispostavilo se da postoje poznati nervni putevi
04:33
coming from the brain that play this very function
94
273040
2954
koji dolaze iz mozga i igraju baš ovu funkciju
04:35
during locomotion.
95
275994
1382
za vreme kretanja.
04:37
My idea: Replace this missing input
96
277376
2715
Moja ideja - zameniti ove nedostajuće ulazne informacije
04:40
to provide the spinal cord
97
280091
1402
da bismo kičmenoj moždini pružili
04:41
with the kind of intervention
98
281493
1396
04:42
that the brain would deliver naturally in order to walk.
99
282889
4730
onu vrstu intervencije
koju bi mozak prirodno izveo u cilju hodanja.
04:47
For this, I leveraged 20 years of past research in neuroscience,
100
287619
4439
Radi ovoga, upotrebio sam 20 godina ranijih istraživanja u neurologiji,
najpre da bih zamenio nedostajuće gorivo
04:52
first to replace the missing fuel
101
292058
2764
04:54
with pharmacological agents
102
294822
2068
farmakološkim supstancama
04:56
that prepare the neurons in the spinal cord to fire,
103
296890
3480
koje pripremaju neurone u kičmenoj moždini da se upale,
05:00
and second, to mimic the accelerator pedal
104
300370
4055
a zatim, da bih podražavao pedalu za gas
električnom stimulacijom.
05:04
with electrical stimulation.
105
304425
1480
05:05
So here imagine an electrode
106
305905
2169
Dakle ovde zamislite elektrodu
05:08
implanted on the back of the spinal cord
107
308074
2406
ugrađenu na zadnjem delu kičmene moždine
05:10
to deliver painless stimulation.
108
310480
2262
radi dobijanja bezbolne stimulacije.
05:12
It took many years, but eventually we developed
109
312742
2832
Bilo je potrebno mnogo godina, ali najzad smo razvili
05:15
an electrochemical neuroprosthesis
110
315574
2557
elektrohemijsku neuroprotezu
koja je transformisala neuralnu mrežu
05:18
that transformed the neural network
111
318131
1766
05:19
in the spinal cord from dormant to a highly functional state.
112
319897
5006
u kičmenoj moždini od uspavanog do visoko funkcionalnog stanja.
05:24
Immediately, the paralyzed rat can stand.
113
324903
6280
Istog trenutka, paralisani pacov može da stoji.
Čim pokretna traka počne da se pomera,
05:31
As soon as the treadmill belt starts moving,
114
331183
2327
05:33
the animal shows coordinated movement of the leg,
115
333510
3806
životinja pokazuje koordinisane pokrete nogu,
05:37
but without the brain.
116
337316
1978
ali bez mozga.
05:39
Here what I call "the spinal brain"
117
339294
1990
Evo kako ono što ja nazivam "kičmenim mozgom"
05:41
cognitively processes sensory information
118
341284
3122
kognitivno procesuira senzorne informacije
05:44
arising from the moving leg
119
344406
1895
koje nastaju iz noge u pokretu
05:46
and makes decisions as to how to activate the muscle
120
346301
3695
i donosi odluke kao što je kako aktivirati mišić
05:49
in order to stand, to walk, to run,
121
349996
3390
da bi se stajalo, hodalo, trčalo
05:53
and even here, while sprinting,
122
353386
2112
i čak i ovde, za vreme brzog trčanja,
05:55
instantly stand
123
355498
2297
momentalno staje
05:57
if the treadmill stops moving.
124
357795
2463
ako traka prestaje da se kreće.
06:00
This was amazing.
125
360258
1337
Ovo je bilo neverovatno.
06:01
I was completely fascinated by this locomotion
126
361595
3387
Bio sam potpuno fasciniran kretanjem
06:04
without the brain,
127
364982
2495
bez mozga,
06:07
but at the same time so frustrated.
128
367477
3655
ali istovremeno i toliko frustriran.
06:11
This locomotion was completely involuntary.
129
371132
2393
Ovo kretanje je bilo potpuno nevoljno.
06:13
The animal had virtually no control over the legs.
130
373525
3365
Životinja praktično nije imala kontrolu nad svojim nogama.
06:16
Clearly, the steering system was missing.
131
376890
4120
Očigledno, sistem za upravljanje je nedostajao.
I tada mi je postalo očigledno
06:21
And it then became obvious from me
132
381010
1892
06:22
that we had to move away
133
382902
1348
da moramo da se udaljimo
06:24
from the classical rehabilitation paradigm,
134
384250
3372
od klasične rehabilitacione paradigme,
06:27
stepping on a treadmill,
135
387622
1722
koračanja na pokretnoj traci,
06:29
and develop conditions that would encourage
136
389344
3220
i razviti uslove koji će podstaći
06:32
the brain to begin voluntary control over the leg.
137
392564
5233
mozak da započne voljnu kontrolu nad nogama.
06:37
With this in mind, we developed a completely new
138
397797
3385
Sa ovim na umu, razvili smo potpuno novi
robotički sistem radi podupiranja pacova
06:41
robotic system to support the rat
139
401182
3230
06:44
in any direction of space.
140
404412
2526
u bilo kom pravcu u prostoru.
06:46
Imagine, this is really cool.
141
406938
2175
Zamislite, ovo je stvarno kul.
06:49
So imagine the little 200-gram rat
142
409113
3831
Dakle zamislite malog pacova od 200 grama
06:52
attached at the extremity of this 200-kilo robot,
143
412944
3701
privezanog za ekstremitet ovog robota od 200 kila,
06:56
but the rat does not feel the robot.
144
416645
2572
ali pacov nije svestan robota.
06:59
The robot is transparent,
145
419217
2072
Robot je transparentan,
07:01
just like you would hold a young child
146
421289
2362
isto kao kada biste pridržavali malo dete
07:03
during the first insecure steps.
147
423651
2364
za vreme prvih nesigurnih koraka.
07:06
Let me summarize: The rat received
148
426015
3554
Hajde da rezimiram: pacov je zadobio
07:09
a paralyzing lesion of the spinal cord.
149
429569
2445
paralizujuću leziju kičmene moždine.
Elektrohemijska neuroproteza je omogućila
07:12
The electrochemical neuroprosthesis enabled
150
432014
2590
07:14
a highly functional state of the spinal locomotor networks.
151
434604
4207
visoko funkcionalno stanje mreža za kretanje u kičmi.
07:18
The robot provided the safe environment
152
438811
3766
Robot je obezbedio bezbednu sredinu
07:22
to allow the rat to attempt anything
153
442577
1963
kako bi omogućio pacovu da pokuša bilo šta
07:24
to engage the paralyzed legs.
154
444540
2682
da bi aktivirao paralizovane noge.
07:27
And for motivation, we used what I think
155
447222
2825
A što se tiče motivacije, koristili smo nešto za šta ja smatram
07:30
is the most powerful pharmacology of Switzerland:
156
450047
3834
da je najsnažnija farmakologija u Švajcarskoj:
07:33
fine Swiss chocolate.
157
453881
2307
fina švajcarska čokolada.
(Smeh)
07:36
(Laughter)
158
456188
2922
07:39
Actually, the first results were very, very,
159
459110
4563
Zapravo, prvi rezultati su bili veoma, veoma,
07:43
very disappointing.
160
463673
2635
veoma razočaravajući.
07:46
Here is my best physical therapist
161
466308
3302
Evo mog najboljeg fizikalnog terapeuta
07:56
completely failing to encourage the rat
162
476794
2590
koji postiže potpuni neuspeh u podsticanju pacova
07:59
to take a single step,
163
479384
2061
da pruži jedan korak,
08:01
whereas the same rat, five minutes earlier,
164
481445
2846
dok je isti pacov, pet minuta ranije,
08:04
walked beautifully on the treadmill.
165
484291
2306
lepo hodao na pokretnoj traci.
08:06
We were so frustrated.
166
486597
2157
Bili smo tako frustrirani.
08:08
But you know, one of the most essential qualities
167
488754
2899
Ali znate, jedan od najosnovnijih kvaliteta
08:11
of a scientist is perseverance.
168
491653
2476
naučnika je istrajnost.
Insistirali smo. Preradili smo našu paradigmu,
08:14
We insisted. We refined our paradigm,
169
494129
3416
08:17
and after several months of training,
170
497545
2263
i nakon nekoliko meseci treniranja,
08:19
the otherwise paralyzed rat could stand,
171
499808
3806
inače paralisani pacov mogao je da stoji,
08:23
and whenever she decided,
172
503614
1812
i kada god bi to odlučio,
08:25
initiated full weight-bearing locomotion
173
505426
2332
inicirao bi kretanje celom težinom tela
08:27
to sprint towards the rewards.
174
507758
3250
kako bi pojurio prema nagradi.
08:31
This is the first recovery ever observed
175
511008
3405
Ovo je prvi ikada opserviran oporavak
08:34
of voluntary leg movement
176
514413
1894
dobrovoljnog pokretanja nogu
08:36
after an experimental lesion of the spinal cord
177
516307
2454
nakon eksperimentalne lezije kičmene moždine
08:38
leading to complete and permanent paralysis.
178
518761
3461
koja je dovela do potpune i trajne paralize.
08:42
In fact --
179
522222
1987
U stvari -
(Aplauz)
08:44
(Applause)
180
524209
1720
08:45
Thank you.
181
525929
4379
Hvala vam.
08:50
In fact, not only could the rat initiate
182
530308
3094
U stvari, ne samo da je pacov mogao da inicira
08:53
and sustain locomotion on the ground,
183
533402
2677
i održi kretanje na zemlji,
08:56
they could even adjust leg movement,
184
536079
2281
mogao je čak i da prilagodi pokrete nogu,
08:58
for example, to resist gravity
185
538360
2356
na primer, da bi pružio otpor gravitaciji
09:00
in order to climb a staircase.
186
540716
2624
kako bi se popeo uz stepenice.
09:03
I can promise you this was
187
543340
1950
Mogu vam se zakleti da je ovo bio
09:05
such an emotional moment in my laboratory.
188
545290
3109
tako emotivan trenutak u mojoj laboratoriji.
09:08
It took us 10 years of hard work
189
548399
2743
Bilo nam je potrebno 10 godina teškog rada
da bismo postigli ovaj cilj.
09:11
to reach this goal.
190
551142
2451
09:13
But the remaining question was, how?
191
553593
2551
Ali ostalo je pitanje, kako?
09:16
I mean, how is it possible?
192
556144
1692
Mislim, kako je to moguće?
09:17
And here, what we found
193
557836
1678
A evo, ono što smo otkrili
09:19
was completely unexpected.
194
559514
3676
bilo je potpuno neočekivano.
Ova novouvedena paradigma treniranja
09:23
This novel training paradigm
195
563190
4158
09:27
encouraged the brain to create new connections,
196
567348
3671
podstakla je mozak da stvori nove veze,
nekakva prenosna kola
09:31
some relay circuits
197
571019
2902
09:33
that relay information from the brain
198
573921
3048
koja prenose informacije iz mozga
09:36
past the injury and restore cortical control
199
576969
3156
mimo povrede i obnavljaju kortikalnu kontrolu
09:40
over the locomotor networks below the injury.
200
580125
3441
nad mrežama za kretanje ispod povrede.
09:43
And here, you can see one such example,
201
583566
2922
A ovde, možete videti jedan takav primer,
09:46
where we label the fibers coming from the brain in red.
202
586488
3363
gde vlakna koja dolaze iz mozga označavamo crvenom.
09:49
This blue neuron is connected with the locomotor center,
203
589851
3420
Ovaj plavi neuron je povezan sa centrom za kretanje,
09:53
and what this constellation
204
593271
2363
i ono što ova grupa
09:55
of synaptic contacts means
205
595634
2351
sinaptičkih veza označava
09:57
is that the brain is reconnected with the locomotor center
206
597985
3799
je to da je mozak iznova povezan sa centrom za kretanje
10:01
with only one relay neuron.
207
601784
3998
samo jednim prenosnim neuronom.
10:05
But the remodeling was not restricted
208
605782
1931
Ali preobražaj nije bio ograničen
10:07
to the lesion area.
209
607713
1087
na oblast lezije.
10:08
It occurred throughout the central nervous system,
210
608800
3289
Dogodio se kroz čitav centralni nervni sistem,
10:12
including in the brain stem,
211
612089
2318
uključujući moždano stablo,
10:14
where we observed up to 300-percent increase
212
614407
3262
gde smo uočili i do 300 procenata porasta
10:17
in the density of fibers coming from the brain.
213
617669
3759
gustine vlakana koji dolaze iz mozga.
10:21
We did not aim to repair the spinal cord,
214
621428
3527
Nismo imali za cilj da popravimo kičmenu moždinu,
10:24
yet we were able to promote
215
624955
2597
ali smo mogli da pokrenemo
10:27
one of the more extensive remodeling
216
627552
2157
jedan od znatnijih preobražaja
10:29
of axonal projections ever observed
217
629709
2469
aksonskih projekcija ikada zapaženih
10:32
in the central nervous system of adult mammal
218
632178
2261
u centralnom nervnom sistemu odraslog sisara
10:34
after an injury.
219
634439
2545
nakon oštećenja.
10:36
And there is a very important message
220
636984
5069
Postoji veoma značajna poruka
koja se krije iza ovog otkrića.
10:42
hidden behind this discovery.
221
642053
4443
10:46
They are the result of a young team
222
646496
3222
Ovo su rezultati mladog tima
10:49
of very talented people:
223
649718
2392
veoma talentovanih ljudi:
fizikalnih teraputa, neurobiologa, neurohirurga,
10:52
physical therapists, neurobiologists, neurosurgeons,
224
652110
4458
10:56
engineers of all kinds,
225
656568
2199
inženjera svih vrsta,
10:58
who have achieved together
226
658767
1791
koji su zajedno postigli
11:00
what would have been impossible by single individuals.
227
660558
3643
ono što bi bilo nemoguće da urade kao pojedinci.
Ovo je zaista transdisciplinarni tim.
11:04
This is truly a trans-disciplinary team.
228
664201
3083
11:07
They are working so close to each other
229
667284
2188
Oni rade toliko prisno međusobno
11:09
that there is horizontal transfer of DNA.
230
669472
3191
da postoji horizontalni transfer DNK.
11:12
We are creating the next generation
231
672663
1623
Mi stvaramo sledeću generaciju
11:14
of M.D.'s and engineers
232
674286
2241
doktora medicine i inženjera
11:16
capable of translating discoveries all the way
233
676527
2444
koji su u stanju da prenesu otkrića skroz
11:18
from bench to bedside.
234
678971
2672
od laboratorije do bolničkog kreveta.
11:21
And me?
235
681643
2006
A ja?
11:23
I am only the maestro who orchestrated this beautiful symphony.
236
683649
4547
Ja sam samo maestro koji je orkestrirao ovu divnu simfoniju.
11:28
Now, I am sure you are all wondering, aren't you,
237
688196
6803
A sad, siguran sam da se svi pitate, zar ne,
11:34
will this help injured people?
238
694999
3764
da li će ovo pomoći povređenim ljudima?
11:38
Me too, every day.
239
698763
3892
I ja se pitam, svakoga dana.
11:42
The truth is that we don't know enough yet.
240
702655
3413
Istina je da još uvek ne znamo dovoljno.
Ovo svakako nije lek za povredu kičmene moždine,
11:46
This is certainly not a cure for spinal cord injury,
241
706068
4224
11:50
but I begin to believe that this may lead
242
710292
2734
ali počinjem da verujem da može dovesti
11:53
to an intervention to improve recovery
243
713026
2567
do intervencije za unapređivanje oporavka
11:55
and people's quality of life.
244
715593
3187
i kvaliteta života ljudi.
11:58
I would like you all
245
718780
2489
Hteo bih da svi vi
12:01
to take a moment and dream with me.
246
721269
3627
odvojite momenat i maštate sa mnom.
12:04
Imagine a person just suffered a spinal cord injury.
247
724896
5895
Zamislite osobu koja je upravo pretrpela povredu kičmene moždine.
12:10
After a few weeks of recovery,
248
730791
3155
Nakon nekoliko nedelja oporavka,
12:13
we will implant a programmable pump
249
733946
2360
ugradićemo pumpu koja se može programirati
12:16
to deliver a personalized pharmacological cocktail
250
736306
3033
kako bismo dopremili individualizovani farmakološki koktel
12:19
directly to the spinal cord.
251
739339
2442
direktno do kičmene moždine.
12:21
At the same time, we will implant an electrode array,
252
741781
3263
Istovremeno, ugradićemo niz elektroda,
slično drugoj koži
12:25
a sort of second skin
253
745044
2107
12:27
covering the area of the spinal cord controlling leg movement,
254
747151
3560
koja će pokrivati područje kičmene moždine kontrolišući pokrete nogu,
12:30
and this array is attached to an electrical pulse generator
255
750711
3266
i ovaj niz je povezan sa električnim generatorom pulsa
12:33
that delivers stimulations that are tailored
256
753977
2462
koji donosi senzacije prilagođene
12:36
to the person's needs.
257
756439
2186
potrebama osobe.
12:38
This defines a personalized electrochemical neuroprosthesis
258
758625
4858
Ovo definiše individualizovanu elektrohemijsku protezu
12:43
that will enable locomotion
259
763483
2751
koja će omogućiti kretanje
12:46
during training with a newly designed supporting system.
260
766234
4047
za vreme treninga novodizajniranim sistemom podrške.
12:50
And my hope is that after several months of training,
261
770281
3283
I moja nada je da će nakon nekoliko meseci treninga,
12:53
there may be enough remodeling of residual connection
262
773564
2163
možda biti dovoljno preoblikovanja preostalih veza
12:55
to allow locomotion without the robot,
263
775727
3669
da bi se omogućilo kretanje bez robota,
12:59
maybe even without pharmacology or stimulation.
264
779396
3778
možda čak i bez farmakologije ili stimulacije.
Moja nada je da ćemo biti u stanju da kreiramo
13:03
My hope here is to be able to create
265
783174
2534
13:05
the personalized condition
266
785708
2265
individualizovano stanje
13:07
to boost the plasticity of the brain
267
787973
2663
kako bismo pojačali plastičnost mozga
13:10
and the spinal cord.
268
790636
1531
i kičmene moždine.
Ovo je radikalno novi koncept
13:12
And this is a radically new concept
269
792167
2739
13:14
that may apply to other neurological disorders,
270
794906
3293
koji se može primeniti na druge neurološke poremećaje,
13:18
what I termed "personalized neuroprosthetics,"
271
798199
4538
ono što sam nazvao "individualizovana neuroproteza",
13:22
where by sensing and stimulating neural interfaces,
272
802737
3024
pomoću čula i stimulacije nervnih međuveza,
13:25
I implanted throughout the nervous system,
273
805761
3714
usadio sam kroz čitav nervni sistem,
13:29
in the brain, in the spinal cord,
274
809475
3341
u mozak, u kičmenu moždinu,
13:32
even in peripheral nerves,
275
812816
2756
čak i u periferne nerve,
13:35
based on patient-specific impairments.
276
815572
3167
bazirano na oštećenju specifičnom za pacijenta.
13:38
But not to replace the lost function, no --
277
818739
4608
Ali ne da bih zamenio izgubljenu funkciju, ne -
13:43
to help the brain help itself.
278
823347
3191
da bih pomogao mozgu da pomogne sam sebi.
13:46
And I hope this enticed your imagination,
279
826538
2640
I nadam se da je ovo zaintrigiralo vašu maštu,
13:49
because I can promise to you
280
829178
1896
jer vam mogu obećati
13:51
this is not a matter of whether this revolution will occur,
281
831074
3243
da nije pitanje da li će se ova revolucija dogoditi,
već kada.
13:54
but when.
282
834317
1792
I zapamtite, mi smo veliki samo onoliko
13:56
And remember, we are only as great
283
836109
2233
13:58
as our imagination, as big as our dream.
284
838357
3585
koliko i naša mašta, onoliko veliki kao naš san.
14:01
Thank you.
285
841942
1992
Hvala vam.
