Well, that might be possible in the future never is if no work is done to make it so
you’re smuggling in an assumption that this work done today will be of value to the future people, which is not automatically the case. we already have examples of that with experiments prior to 1950 that were already not up to the standards of data collection by the 1980s.
we’re really bad at brain stuff in particular and i think it’s more likely the more capable future people will, at best, have to re-do all of this work from scratch.
graduate students spent decades taking photos of thin slices of zebra fish brains only to have computerized scanning technology do all that work faster and better. it’s perhaps not fair to expect someone in the 1970s to have predicted that technological leap but i think we know enough now to say that the specific area you’re talking about is relatively likely to be obsoleted by other advancements in neuroscience

Do nothing! Wait for the future people! Horseshit
