Just don't do it to the Eldians.

In all seriousness, I wonder if this can be synthesized. A transport layer for brain conductivity, just replace the fluid. Maybe create an even better fluid than what the young hosts have.

> just replace the fluid

Jiffy Brain franchises on the way.

Imagine the fraudulent upsells.

Your nasal filters are covered in a mucus, do you want us to replace them?

I hear you can go an extra 4,000 hours between changes with synthetics.

Not quite the same, but there exists a nootrooic called Cerebrolysin which is made from enzymatically treated pig brain peptides, including all sorts of brain growth factors.

I wonder if taking something with brain growth factors makes you more or less likely to suffer from more serious consequences if you have brain trauma. ie Are you more or less likely to have a serious concussion after hitting your head.

I cannot answer your question but growth factors are extremely effective after a concussion/AVC/TBI/stroke. People and doctors are extremely uneducated and therefore people that have TBI will have high persistent damage. The truth is, most of the damage is generally not done during the trauma, but during the weeks/month following it.. And those damages can be for the most part prevented by taking protectors, which as I said, isn't done in practice because science bad

Generally speaking, brain growth factors are protective against and regenerative of brain damage/atrophy. You could call them pro-neuronal-function factors.
