This is a strange article. It suggests that neural plasticity is much
greater than I had expected, and that adaptations related to the
neurological functions relevant to basic cogntion are surprisingly
self-organizing and are almost exclusivley at the microscopic level of
neural columns rather than the regional level. Of course, we don't know how
normal this guy's behavior will now be.
