The article articulates both sides of the argument. Reasoning from chemistry/physics principles, there shouldn't be anything fundamentally "non-malleable" in our brains.

Scientifically, we are probably relatively far from that moment, but in the entirety of time any brain damage, disease, deficiency will be fixable

Right now that's just empty speculation - presently we have little idea how the brain works so all we can do is try to reduce damage. Not a sexy message, but one you can hang your hat on.
