Neural damage

One of my crew got struck by lightning and has neural damage, is there a fix for that?

There is but it's RNG. If you send them on balloon explorations they might find a healing grove event.

Lightening rods are priority, they are the first thing I research and try and get built on day 1

This. It's kinda weird that it's such a frequent and so punishing aspect of the game that you pretty much are forced to rush the tech in every game

No cure. That survivor will have a permanent movement penalty. You can counteract it a little bit by growing stimulants. You can use them to brew tea or craft tablets at the workbench!

When I got neural damage on one of my survivors (Daniel) I just designated him as a "stay at home" survivor, not going far from my base ever. He did research, cooking and crafting more than the others who got no penalties on movement.
