Abstract
This paper summarizes a research approach which started with experiments in cats and eventually led to the successful use of drugs in spinal cord injured (SCI) patients to improve their walking. In such a short paper, it is impossible to cover the details of this approach but we will establish important landmarks and give a bibliography to guide further reading.
