As long as the brain remains a black box... never. We only understand a tiny bit how the brain works; the biggest problems are still unsolved. Even with a completely prosthetic body, your brain will eventually build up plaques and die (again).

Maybe evolution will solve that for us?

Some people are more resistant to Alzheimers/dementia, keep enough brains alive long enough and maybe a few might have adequate plaque removal to stay sane indefinitely.

But the survival of the fittest process of evolution can't occur because that requires reproduction.

Simply clone the brains with the fewest plaques
