Music expertise shapes audiovisual temporal integration windows for speech, sinewave speech, and music (2014, background): “Previous research has shown that musicians develop an enhanced auditory system, both at the structural and functional levels (Schlaug et al., 1995; Munte et al., 2002; Schneider et al., 2005; Hannon and Trainor, 2007; Baumann et al., 2008; Imfeld et al., 2009) that seems to benefit linguistic and…”

Intelligence and neural efficiency. (2009, neutral): “Further evidence for practice-induced plasticity of the brain can be found in Gaser and Schlaug (2003) who found more gray matter in some motor, auditory, visual–spatial brain regions when comparing professional musicians vs. amateurs vs. non-musicians (see also Münte et al., 2002).”

Human functional neuroimaging of brain changes associated with practice. (2005, background): “A number of neural mechanisms have been suggested as the basis for increased efficiency and cortical reorganization: the strengthening of existing synapses, the ‘unmasking’ of existing lateral connections through a change in the local balance of excitation and inhibition, formation of new synapses, ”

Brain Structures Differ between Musicians and Non-Musicians (2003, neutral): “The search for anatomical markers of extraordinary skills has fascinated researchers for many years (Schlaug et al., 1995b; Zatorre et al., 1998; Witelson et al., 1999; Maguire et al., 2000; Amidzic et al., 2001; Keenan et al., 2001; Munte et al., 2002).”
The mismatch negativity (MMN) in basic research of central auditory processing: a review. (2007, neutral): “For recent reviews on the import of the MMN in studies of music perception, see Tervaniemi and Brattico (2004), Münte et al. (2002) As already reviewed, the pre-attentive auditory analysis reflected by the MMN is not restricted only to physical, or ''first-order'', stimulus features but rather…”

The influence of Organized Violence and Terror on Brain and Mind : a Co-Constructive Perspective (2006, background): “Moreover, the musician's brain not only exemplifies adaptation (or in some cases maladaptation; Elbert et al., 1998) to somatosensory requirements but differs from " normal " brains on many levels (Münte et al., 2002; Christian & Schlaug, 2003).”
