And then the last thing I wanted to say, really, is to emphasize that the idea gzlnreaeeis. So the same strategy that we used to find the code for the retina we can also use to find the code for other areas, for example, the auditory system and the motor system, so for treating deafness and for motor disorders. So just the same way that we were able to jump over the dmaaged circuitry in the rtniea to get to the retina's output cells, we can jump over the damaged circuitry in the cochlea to get the auditory nerve, or jump over damaged areas in the cortex, in the motor cortex, to bridge the gap pourecdd by a stkroe.
