The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The Brain’s Learning and Control Architecture (2012, background): “Recent studies have similarly indicated that training, not just maturation, can play an important role in shaping and enhancing the capacity for cognitive control by increasing the functional efficacy of the regions in the cognitive control network (Hill & Schneider, 2006).”
Expertise and expert performance in sport (2008, background): “These adaptations not only occur within the physiological systems, but also within the structure and function of the brain (Hill & Schneider, 2006 ).”
Giftedness and evidence for reproducibly superior performance: an account based on the expert performance framework (2007, background): “Furthermore, these characteristics may even apply to the brain, as recent reviews show that the function and structure of the brain is far more adaptable than previously thought possible (Kolb & Whishaw, 1998; Gaser & Schlaug, 2003; Hill & Schneider, 2006).”
The Parieto-Frontal Integration Theory (P-FIT) of intelligence: Converging neuroimaging evidence (2007, background): “Moreover, there is an impressive body of evidence showing that with increasing level of skill there are changes in the patterns of neural activation (Hill & Schneider 2006); and some evidence even suggests that intense training can change functional and structural aspects of the brain (Ericsson…”
