 New patterning therapy has the other half of the brain taking over
for the damaged side IIRC.

Years ago (ten I think) And I'll assume there's been more on this
since- National Geographic magazine had a feature on this topic of
patterning. A little boy had endured brain damage (( forget the
details) ... one side of the brain - I think the left , yes, the 'math
center'... but thanks to very intensive patterning he was able to
learn math skills... This was ten years ago or so so I know I may be
missing details here. Yet what stands out is parts of the brain CAN
take over for other parts for various functions. That's something!

((Of course if it's a physical function the 'working end' has to be
okay; no spinal damage that is or other damage.)

Stem cell research (and of course using other cells than embryo to keep
the screamers quiet) is promising for many neurological conditions.
maybe someday even hearing loss (Both Volume and Tone.)
