Brain structures differ between musicians and non-musicians.
From an early age, musicians learn complex motor and auditory skills (e.g., the translation of visually perceived musical symbols into motor commands with simultaneous auditory monitoring of output), which they practice extensively from childhood throughout their entire careers. Using a voxel-by-voxel morphometric technique, we found gray matter volume differences in motor, auditory, and visual...
متن کاملDifferences in Brain Structures between Female Musicians and Non-Musicians
This study examines the differences in brain structures between female musicians and their non-musian counterparts by using a voxel-by-voxel morphometric method. We found gray matter volume differences in right and left cerebellum regions, right and left middle temporal gyrus and superior occipital gyrus. These differences are consistant with those of male musicians and nonmusicians on the whol...
متن کاملThe Differences Between Musicians’ and Non-musicians’ Brains
As musicians, we subject our brains to a regime of training that is virtually unparalleled in its intensity and duration, not to mention the level of exquisite perfection we are expected to attain. Most of us started our instruments when we were very young, have practiced daily for hours ever since, and will continue to do so for many more decades. There is no other field that demands this sort...
متن کاملVisual memory in musicians and non-musicians
Many investigations have reported structural, functional, and cognitive changes in the brains of musicians, which occur as a result of many years of musical practice. We aimed to investigate if intensive, long-term musical practice is associated with improved visual memory ability. Musicians and non-musicians, who were comparable in age, gender, and education, were submitted to a visual memory ...
متن کاملAuditory and Visual Interhemispheric Communication in Musicians and Non-Musicians
The corpus callosum (CC) is a brain structure composed of axon fibres linking the right and left hemispheres. Musical training is associated with larger midsagittal cross-sectional area of the CC, suggesting that interhemispheric communication may be faster in musicians. Here we compared interhemispheric transmission times (ITTs) for musicians and non-musicians. ITT was measured by comparing si...
