Perhaps it's functions were folded into the medical tricorder?

Possibly? If so, the 24th century tricorders and those even later in the timeline are never described as doing the cool brain- and memory-related things that the TOS prop from 2267 did in one episode.
They may have been found to be based on junk science/unreliable and discontinued/ruled inadmissible in court, like lie detector results are now.
What? Just because no one giving testimony was lying?
It didn't go off in TOS S1 Court Martisl either for the same reason.
If fact it wasn't shown detecting a lie until Kirk asked Scotty to intentionally lie in TOS S2
Some magic tech is used again, but the ones I mentioned likely won't be reused for practical reasons.So like most magic tech?
Never understood why these two things draw such ire.
What are the practical reasons?
The blood is hardly as magical as it is lampooned as being. It took two weeks if infusions to help Kirk recover. The transwarp beaming us imprecise and requires additional devices to make sure it works.
Limits are built in and easily more could be added.
Shipless travel and the possibility to render a lot of death in Trek pointless. I don't really need to say anything else, it speaks for itself.
Its Impractical because you're definitely going to have to add more and more limits to even keep any semblance of stakes in this show.
But you knew that, because even you said about limits being built in and added. So there is a part of you that knows that both concepts have an inheritant show-breaking flaw.
But I don't think those things are actually what could occur with that tech. The transporter cures aging too.
TOS had a lot of magical tech, starting with WARP Drive & the Transporter, that solved several episode problems.
Why are any of the following shows found to be more guilty doing the same thing?
Because folks are looking for a reason to dislike those shows?
The fifth movie had a modified warp engine that could get from Earth to the center of the galaxy in a matter of days. Never again mentioned, but buried somewhere in Starfleet's long, storied files of "things we used to know about but will now conveniently forget."
Even the Klingons buried most knowledge of the Augment Virus. 
Only if you're an outsider.Even the Klingons buried most knowledge of the Augment Virus.
We do not speak of it even with the hip insiders.
I wish William Campbell had done an MST3K-level movie wherein he played a beatnik.
Of course you did…
