Dr. Merzenich claims old brain can be "rejuvenated" to some extent and is applying a software system for regular practice. The results from such tests can be improved significantly by practice, e.g. 70-80 year-old can achieve results of people in their 30s.
There are some interesting postings on the early critical period of brain development, aging brain, neuroplasticity, autism and other topics in Dr. Michael Merzenich's blog: http://onthebrain.com/
IMHO articles are a bit chatty, but you can filter out useful information.

Total crap. You improve what you practice, & he suggest practicing petty nonsense.
