Music and Neural Plasticity
نویسندگان
چکیده
This chapter reviews material on the effects of music training on the brain. The review is framed within the broader theoretical context of neuroplasticity and experience, as well as the relationship between behaviour and brain structure and function. It presents a comprehensive account of studies that have investigated differences in the brains and behaviour of musicians compared with non-musicians, with an emphasis on variables that may moderate the relationship between music training and neuroplastic change. Evidence for a causal relationship between music training and changes in the brain is provided in the context of longitudinal studies of training-induced plasticity in novice musicians. Training effects in both healthy children and adults and in patients with neurological disorders are also discussed.

متن کاملNeural Correlates of Boredom in Music Perception
Introduction: Music can elicit powerful emotional responses, the neural correlates of which have not been properly understood. An important aspect about the quality of any musical piece is its ability to elicit a sense of excitement in the listeners. In this study, we investigated the neural correlates of boredom evoked by music in human subjects. Methods: We used EEG recording in nine sub...
متن کاملRelationship between Intelligence Quotient and Musical Ability in Children with Cochlear Implantation
Introduction: Children with cochlear implants (CIs) may experience few opportunities for positive musical experiences, and musical perception is therefore often not sufficiently developed. This paper investigates and discusses the relationship between intelligence quotient (IQ) and musical ability in children with CIs compared with children with normal hearing. ...
متن کاملNew Encyclopedia of Neuroscience
Music is a complex human phenomenon, the perception of which involves a variety of neural processes. Data from neuroimaging, neurophysiologic, and lesion-based studies provide valuable evidence of the neural substrates that underlie the perception of musical aspects such as pitch, melody, rhythm, timbre, and musical syntax. Furthermore, these studies shed light on the relationship between music...
متن کاملThe Role of Adrenergic Receptors on Neural Excitability and Synaptic Plasticity: A Narrative Review
Adrenergic receptors have an important role in neural excitability and synaptic plasticity. Despite a lot of studies on these receptors, their exact role in brain disorders accompanied with hyperexcitability has not been determined. There are also controversies on their role in synaptic plasticity. In this review article, the important studies done in this regard have been reviewed to achieve a...
متن کاملWhy would Musical Training Benefit the Neural Encoding of Speech? The OPERA Hypothesis
Mounting evidence suggests that musical training benefits the neural encoding of speech. This paper offers a hypothesis specifying why such benefits occur. The "OPERA" hypothesis proposes that such benefits are driven by adaptive plasticity in speech-processing networks, and that this plasticity occurs when five conditions are met. These are: (1) Overlap: there is anatomical overlap in the brai...
