Cancer actually a mutation that increases brain function?

Hmmm,

Suggested intelligence correlates are in the form of convolutions, interconnections between the corpus collosum and neocortical structure.

Furthermore, you haven't specified what type of cancer? I have heard of a paracrine/endocrine mimicking tumour (Australian spelling) which correlates to neoplasms acting as paraendocrine glands. How would that structurally have an effect on the neuroplasticity?

Lets have a look at neurological changes in patients with paraneoplastic syndrome.

Under 'Neurological' changes we can see,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limbic_encephalitis

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opsoclonus_myoclonus_syndrome

Which are ion-channelopathies and auto-immune pathologies.

Tell me, where does the plasticity occur to boost brain function? How are you measuring '40%'

Unless, lets say the Cancers don't elicit a neuroplastic response. Rather, some metabolite of a cancer system is acting upon, quotient based equilibria which would eventually de-regulate existing homeostatic body chemistry. I can foresee such a chain of events predominately leading to neurodegeneration.

Is this what is happening OP? Gimmie some peer reviewed articles bro, don't post conjecture otherwise no scientist will believe you!

an example of how cannabis utilised the existing endocannabinoid system to elicit neuroplasticity).
