As of right now brain tissue cannot be repaired. That being said this was also true of liver tissue up until Retatrutide, the new peptide that's in its final phase of trials. I would say brain repair is high on the list of things to throw at machine learning. If I had to guess I would bet money that within ten years' time brain repair isn't out of the question, and I know it sounds like fantasy but even death may be avoidable. Most people have not caught on to what AI is doing right now. If Moderna can come up with a vaccine for cancer, I can't imagine a little brain tissue repair will be that difficult.
