One case study that I have not seen clearly connected to the topic of Neural Plasticity is that of the London Cab drivers. 

London Cabbies undergo a legendary training that involves memorising huge amounts of map data and street names.  I remember someone in an interview on tv once saying that someone had used MRI to show that there were changes in the drivers brains after this training process was complete.  Tada!  NP at work.
