Born to Learn: the Inspiration, Progress, and Future of Evolved Plastic Artificial Neural Networks (2017, background): “Neuroscien-tiﬁc advances reviewed in Damasio (1999); LeDoux (2003); Pascual-Leone et al. (2005); Doidge (2007); Draganski and May (2008) reveal that fundamental sensations, motor patterns, associations, and ways of thinking are less instinctive and hardwired than previously thought.”
Musical Training Shapes Structural Brain Development (2009, unknown): “The present findings of structural brain changes in response to 15 months of instrumental music training are consistent with previous findings of training-induced structural brain differences in adults in various contexts (Draganski et al., 2004; Draganski and May, 2008).”
Bilingual Minds (2009, background): “Prior research indicates that cognitive, linguistic, and motor abilities can correlate with differences in brain structure, (e.g., Crinion et al., 2009; Draganski & May, 2008; Gaser & Schlaug, 2003; Lee et al., 2007; Maguire et al., 2000; Mechelli et al., 2004).”
The Angular Gyrus (2013, background): “With its location at the junction between the occipital, temporal, and parietal lobes, the AG is considered an important interface that conveys and integrates information between different modalities and processing subsystems.”
Perceptual-Cognitive Training of Athletes (2012, background): “That is, there are clear underlying neural reorganizations of neural tissue and networks when learning new capacities (Draganski & May 2008) or when new brain networks take over damaged brain tissue (Bridge, Thomas, Jbabdi, & Cowey, 2008).”
Mind The Hype: A Critical Evaluation and Prescriptive Agenda for Research on Mindfulness and Meditation (2017, unknown): “…such as learning to play musical instruments and learning to reason, suggesting that they may not be unique to mindfulness or other popular types of meditation practice (cf. Draganski & May, 2008; Hyde et al., 2009; Mackey, Miller Singley, & Bunge, 2013; Münte, Altenmüller, & Jäncke, 2002).”
Neuroeducation – A Critical Overview of An Emerging Field (2012, background): “On the other hand, brain maturation appears to continue well into adulthood [8, 9] and the adult brain exhibits a much greater structural plasticity to learning than was previously thought [10].”
Neuroplasticity subserving motor skill learning (2011, unknown): “Structural Plasticity Associated with Slow Learning In addition to reorganization of functional brain networks, slow learning is associated with structural plasticity in gray matter (for review, see Draganski and May, 2008; May and Gaser, 2006).”
Effects of memory training on cortical thickness in the elderly (2010, background): “Advances in neuroimaging techniques have enabled tracking of behavioral changes to alterations in specific brain regions in vivo (Draganski and May, 2008; Haier et al., 2009).”
Music, biological evolution, and the brain (2010, background): “Modern neuroscience has shifted from a view of the brain as plastic only during early developmental periods to a view that recognizes a substantial degree of plasticity throughout the lifespan (Edelman, 1987; Draganski and May, 2008).”
