Abstract
Studies of experience-driven neuroplasticity at the behavioural, ensemble,
cellular and molecular levels have shown that the structure and significance
of the eliciting stimulus can determine the neural changes that result.
Studying such effects in humans is difficult, but professional musicians
represent an ideal model in which to investigate plastic changes
in the human brain. There are two advantages to studying plasticity
in musicians: the complexity of the eliciting stimulus music and
the extent of their exposure to this stimulus. Here, we focus on
the functional and anatomical differences that have been detected
in musicians by modern neuroimaging methods.
