Zusammenfassung
The present study used functional magnetic resonance to examine the
cerebral activity pattern associated with musical perception in musicians
and non-musicians. Musicians showed left dominant secondary auditory
areas in the temporal cortex and the left posterior dorsolateral
prefrontal cortex during a passive music listening task, whereas
non-musicians demonstrated right dominant secondary auditory areas
during the same task. A significant difference in the degree of activation
between musicians and non-musicians was noted in the bilateral planum
temporale and the left posterior dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.
The degree of activation of the left planum temporale correlated
well with the age at which the person had begun musical training.
Furthermore, the degree of activation in the left posterior dorsolateral
prefrontal cortex and the left planum temporale correlated significantly
with absolute pitch ability. The results indicated distinct neural
activity in the auditory association areas and the prefrontal cortex
of trained musicians. We suggest that such activity is associated
with absolute pitch ability and the use-dependent functional reorganization
produced by the early commencement of long-term training.
