Motor control and aging: links to age-related brain structural, functional, and biochemical effects. (2010, positive): “Similar to findings obtained with young adults (Driemeyer et al., 2008; Draganski et al., 2004), three months of juggling practice resulted in a significant increase in gray matter volume in the mid-temporal cortex (in the region specialized for motion processing) for older adults relative to agemat”
Brain anatomy differences in childhood stuttering (2008, background): “Gray matter increases follow motor training in adults (Draganski et al., 2004) and after a lifetime of practice in musicians (Gaser and Schlaug, 2003b).”
Maze training in mice induces MRI-detectable brain shape changes specific to the type of learning (2011, background): “The results presented here, along with evidence that learning new tasks such as juggling (Draganski et al., 2004; Scholz et al., 2009) or playing musical instruments (Bermudez et al.”
Chronic pain may change the structure of the brain. (2008, background): “As the adult human brain may change its structure in response to environmental demands [14,55], the question arises whether in some humans a (possibly genetically) structural difference in central pain-transmitting systems may act as a diathesis for chronic pain.”
Bilingualism: Consequences for Mind and Brain (2012, background): “Such modifications have been found following experiences as diverse as juggling [6], videogame playing [7], careers in architecture [8] taxi-driving [9], and musical training [10, 11].”
Mindfulness practice leads to increases in regional brain gray matter density (2010, background): “, 2006), motor skills (Draganski et al., 2004), aerobic training (Colcombe et al.”

Networks of anatomical covariance (2013, background): “…2011b; Raz et al., 2005), mutual trophic influences (Aid et al., 2007; Ferrer et al., 1995) or experience-related plasticity (Bermudez et al., 2009; Draganski et al., 2004; Driemeyer et al., 2008; Haier et al., 2009; Hyde et al., 2009a, 2009b; Maguire et al., 2000, 2003, 2006; Schneider et al.,…”
Impulsivity, Frontal Lobes and Risk for Addiction (2009, background): “, 2006) or practicing juggling (Draganski et al., 2004) alters cortical structure consistent with use contributing to structural changes in the brain.”
Neuroplasticity subserving motor skill learning (2011, neutral): “In one key study (Draganski et al., 2004), subjects trained over 3 months to learn a three-ball juggling routine.”
Growth of language-related brain areas after foreign language learning (2012, background): “Acquiring sensorimotor skills (Draganski et al., 2004) and conceptual knowledge (Draganski et al., 2006) in adulthood alters the human brain's gray matter structure in task-relevant areas, suggesting that adult foreign-language learning may be accompanied by increases of gray matter volume in brain…”
