Currently being tested in cats, scientists are working on neural implants called ‘microstimulators’ that will allow people with spinal-cord injuries to control their bladder function. These implants will give warnings when the bladder is getting full and will also allow patients to decide when they will urinate. Although still under development, this breakthrough gives hope to those who have suffered a spinal-cord injury, as it will put them one step closer normal, functioning in their everyday lives.  For people with spinal-cord injuries, it's more of a pain than almost anything else -- not being able to control their bladder function. Now, scientists are developing and testing implants that allow patients to control when they urinate and even get warnings about when their bladders are full.
