Using a rat model, Jerry Silver, professor of neurosciences at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, performed a half lesion in the spinal cord at C-2, preventing the diaphragm from functioning on the side of the lesion. Knowing that Channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2), a light sensitive protein, made neurons fire when exposed to light, he then injected a virus containing ChR2 into the spine between C-3 and C-6, just below the lesion. After four days, Silver and his team exposed the spinal cord to light. Normal breathing soon followed.
