From an early age, musicians learn complex motor and auditory skills (eg, the translation of
visually perceived musical symbols into motor commands with simultaneous auditory
monitoring of output), which they practice extensively from childhood throughout their entire
careers. Using a voxel-by-voxel morphometric technique, we found gray matter volume
differences in motor, auditory, and visual-spatial brain regions when comparing professional
musicians (keyboard players) with a matched group of amateur musicians and non�…
