I can't wait to read The Brain That Changes Itself by Norman Doidge, featured in this NYT review by Abigail Zuger.
You should read the linked piece simply to enjoy the reviewer's way with words (emphasis mine):
"Now sophisticated experimental techniques suggest the brain is more like a Disney-esque animated sea creature. Constantly oozing in various directions, it is apparently able to respond to injury with striking functional reorganization, and can at times actually think itself into a new anatomic configuration..."
Plus, Zuger uses the word "hoary" in her review. I don't know her but she is probably rad.
