The brain can rewire itself in response to new learning from "summary" of The Brain That Changes Itself by Norman Doidge

This concept, known as neuroplasticity, challenges the long-held belief that the adult brain is static and unchangeable. Neuroplasticity allows the brain to adapt and change in response to new experiences, environmental influences, and learning. This means that the brain has the potential to form new neural connections, strengthen existing ones, and even reorganize itself in order to accommodate new information and skills.
