摘要：

There exists a controversial literature regarding gross morphological differences in the brain structure of musicians as compared to nonmusicians. Several authors have shown changes in diverse cerebral regions associated with musical training, notably in the motor and auditory cortices (e.g., Refs. 1 and 2), but these have not always been consistent across studies. Here we present new data bearing on such differences with the use of voxel-based morphometry (VBM) of magnetic resonance images (MRIs).
