So is there any actual research going on for this?
I looked around and surprisingly there seems to be very little, I'd expect it to be a hot topic, especially since the brain has now been shown to possess neuroplastic and neuroregenerative properties in various degrees all throughout adult life, is it too big of a leap to think there could be certain chemicals or generally ways of upping that regeneration to the maximum to basically make the whole brain heal itself?
The whole brain injury and repair field seems to me like it hasn't progressed in the slightest in the past 20 or more years, it's still just "rest and wait", barring some very few non-mainstream discoveries (like HBOT, ISRIB, cerebrolysin and a few other "nootropics" and other drugs showing SOME little improvement).
Why is nobody funding this shit? There's people's lives being ruined on the daily by unlucky car accidents and falls, diseases like dementia etc., how is this not a fucking top priority? Do the rich have some über anti-TBI and anti-old-age-brain-degeneration drugs that they just take or how are there not billions of dollars being poured into this? Or if there are, where can I find more about it?
On a slightly but not really off-topic note, say I might have suffered a concussion about a week ago from some punches to the head (no symptoms at all except nausea and feeling foggy and hazy, may be anxiety and ptsd not sure? also a sore neck), is there anything I could do to help my brain heal back up to full? I legit fear having become a retard, and not being able to do all the stuff I was looking forward to in life, are my worries unfounded?
