Can structural damage to the developing brain, due to binge drinking during youth be reversed by abstinence within adulthood? (completely quitting drinking from 20 years aged onwards?) Also, does the damage cause actually impede the persons skill to learn and store unusual memories permanently or, near abstinence, does the brain compensate by forging up to date neural pathways etc?

Answers:    It have been believed for years that the grown brain is incapable of repairing itself. Recent studies have shown that neurogenesis does go on in the olfactory bulb(responsible for our propensity to smell) and the hippocampus(associated with memory). So I suppose it would depend on the extent of the break and what areas of the brain were artificial.

New research into Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease may unlock technology allowing repair of more extensive damage.
