although some very basic abilities are innate in the brain, it's through processing of zillion-bytes of data throughout development that humans acquire most of the skills. plasticity basically boils down to network training, although we still know far less about the former than the latter. It's quite likely we ll have intelligent agents before we can model the brain (even better, we will let them do that for us)
