Regarding the comment about technology being used in one show not being
present in another, well in "The Menagerie" in which the previous Capt.
of the Enterprise (Pike ?) is seen paralysed they could not interface his
brain as happened to Spock in "Spock's Brain" as
a) Spock's Brain was a considerably later episode
b) Spock's was operated on by an alien race using knowledge considerably
   in advance of anything 'Bones' can do. Indeed he risks his life to
   save Spock's by connecting himself to the alien teaching machine
   which temporarily gives him the skills to reconnect Spock

Incidentally The Menagerie was a two part episode constructed from the
second Star Trek pilot and so was one of the first episodes made in
any case.
