Downvoted for uninformative title (brain structure changes with any learning, unless one presupposes dualism) and a post which also didn’t have any descriptions about the links.
brain structure changes with any learning, unless one presupposes dualism
I am not sure that is the case. My neuroscience is very rusty, but is there a distinction between structural changes and other changes? New neural connections versus changes in neurotransmitters or triggering thresholds seems a likely candidate.

There are various types of change that can occur on different levels:
Small scale changes (new dendritic spines, more neuro transmitter receptors)
New connections between cells
New brain cells or removal of old
Change of shape of a brain region. Brain regions are sometimes called brain structures, more so than neurons etc.
It was the last I was trying to communicate.
