How much can we really change about our brain?

Not so many years ago it was scientific convention that, after our childhood years, our brains were no longer very malleable.  Our current number of neurons were thought to be a set number that diminished with age.  Fortunately the scientific process worked, and with a flood of research indicating otherwise, the mainstream stance on the brain had to be readjusted. 

We now know that the brain is both very adaptable (known as brain plasticity), and also able to generate new neurons.  Both of these things the brain can do even into our elder years.  Even more recently, IQ, also known as fluid intelligence, has been shown to be improvable as well.  It seems there is not much the brain cannot adjust or adapt too, provided we are willing to put in the effort.
