有一篇关于音乐家与非音乐家大脑结构的粗大形态差异的有争议的文献。几位作者已经展示了与音乐训练相关的不同大脑区域的变化，特别是在运动和听觉皮质(例如，参考文献)。1和2)，但这些并不总是在研究中是一致的。在这里，我们提出了新的数据与这些差异的使用体素为基础的形态测量(VBM)的磁共振图像(MRI)。
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).
