Training-induced structural changes in the adult human brain. (2008, background): “For example, navigational experience has been reported to be correlated with posterior hippocampus size [75] and musical proficiency to be associated with volume enlargement of motor and auditory areas and their anatomical connections [10,44,45,95].”
Brain Structures Differ between Musicians and Non-Musicians (2003, unknown): “…reported in numerous morphometric studies (Amunts et al., 2000; Nopoulos et al., 2000), and, more recently, pronounced gender effects were detected using voxel-based methods (Good et al., 2001b) that prompted another study examining musician effects to use only male subjects (Sluming et al., 2002).”

Shared networks for auditory and motor processing in professional pianists: Evidence from fMRI conjunction (2006, background): “The importance of Broca's area for musicians has recently been shown not only functionally, but even structurally (Sluming et al., 2002).”
Temporal and Spatial Dynamics of Brain Structure Changes during Extensive Learning (2006, background): “…learning-dependent changes in the adult human brain and suggested anatomical correlates for navigation , arithmetic, linguistic, procedural, and musical learning abilities (Maguire et al., 2000; Golestani et al., 2002; Sluming et al., 2002; Gaser and Schlaug, 2003; Draganski et al., 2004).”
London taxi drivers and bus drivers: A structural MRI and neuropsychological analysis (2006, background): “Professional musicians show a greater increase in gray matter volume in motor and auditory areas (Gaser and Schlaug, 2003) and a frontal region (Sluming et al., 2002) the longer the time spent practicing and playing, as do early bilinguals in parietal cortex (Mechelli et al., 2004).”
Moving toward a neuroplasticity view of bilingualism, executive control, and aging (2014, unknown): “…skills, such as musical expertise or navigational experience (Bialystok & DePape, 2009; Chakravarty & Vuust, 2009; Hyde et al., 2007; Mechelli, Price, Friston, & Ashburner, 2005; Oechslin, Imfeld, Loenneker, Meyer, & Jancke, 2010; Sluming et al., 2002; Woollett, Spiers, & Maguire, 2009).”
Prefrontal cortex involvement in preattentive auditory deviance detection: : neuroimaging and electrophysiological evidence (2003, background): “Furthermore, musicians showed increased gray matter density in Broca's area in the left inferior frontal gyrus compared to nonmusicians, as revealed by voxel-based morphometry (Sluming et al., 2002).”
Transmodal Sensorimotor Networks during Action Observation in Professional Pianists (2005, background): “Professional musical training has been demonstrated to induce adaptive functional and structural changes within the motor system (Sluming et al., 2002; Amunts, Schlaug, et al., 1997; Elbert, Pantev, Wienbruch, Rockstroh, & Taub, 1995; Schlaug, Jancke, Huang, Staiger, & Steinmetz, 1995) as well as…”
