Serious question on synaptic formation ?

[newuser123]

Hello everyone I'm new here and just started taking a interest in biology and I had a question :

 

Do we have or will we have say in a decade or so the technology to rewire synaptic formations in the brain. Anyone who is an expert neuroscientist your answer is greatly appreciated and desperately needed. Thank you

The brain is a relatively a delicate thing, and any temperament on the brain might result in mental injury or death.

However, there's a good chance synaptic formations can be rewired in the future.

Here's a link to an experimentation model :

certain medications can stimulate neurogenesis and new connections, but this isn't as controlled of a process currently.
