What?

I live in the town where KFC started, the only still privately owned KFC in existence. The Colonel's house is still just behind it. They make some damn tasty chicken.

Is there a level of plasticity that can occur outside the brain? For example, given enough time (even if longer than a typical human life span) could a paraplegic reroute certain functions via peripheral nerves to reconnect below the point of injury? I know in cases of heart blockages there is often evidence of angiogenesis trying to route blood around the blockages. Anything like this in the neural arena?
