If you were to properly think about this, all rehab therapies would work much better with vastly fewer dead neurons. And you do that by stopping the 5 causes of the neuronal cascade of death in the first week.
If my doctors had done that they would have saved me 5.4 billion neurons. Recovery would have been easy with only 171 million dead neurons. And sending a bill to my doctor and stroke hospital at $1000 a dead neuron would only cost them 5.4 trillion dollars. That might concentrate their minds. I don't expect neuroplasticity or neurogenesis to be precisely repeatable for at least 50 years. No one is looking at the signals that occur between neurons such that one neuron drops its current function and takes on a neighbor's function. Knowing that process is the only way to make neuroplasticity EXACTLY REPEATABLE.
