Unless neurogenesis can be triggered in such a way that new neurons develop and migrate along the normal routes, once the disruption is removed.
Therapy to encourage new synapse development could also help, once any morphology-disrupting factor is removed.
- araneae 16y agoMigration of neurons occurs primarily in utero and very early childhood, and as you might notice, during this time very few memories are formed. That's because memories are built on those very synaptic connection you would need to rewire. Any cure that deals with reorganizing the brain could very well wipe out who they are. If it's even possible. And for that kind of technology we're talking at minimum centuries, not decades.
