Music and Neural Plasticity
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-musi...
متن کاملTraining-induced neural plasticity in golf novices.
Previous neuroimaging studies in the field of motor learning have shown that learning a new skill induces specific changes of neural gray and white matter in human brain areas necessary to control the practiced task. Former longitudinal studies investigating motor skill learning have used strict training protocols with little ecological validity rather than physical leisure activities, although...
متن کاملMusical training induces functional plasticity in human hippocampus.
Training can change the functional and structural organization of the brain, and animal models demonstrate that the hippocampus formation is particularly susceptible to training-related neuroplasticity. In humans, however, direct evidence for functional plasticity of the adult hippocampus induced by training is still missing. Here, we used musicians' brains as a model to test for plastic capabi...
متن کاملDysfunctional neural plasticity in patients with schizophrenia.
CONTEXT Neural plasticity in the human cortex involves a reorganization of synaptic connections in an effort to adapt to a changing environment. In schizophrenia, dysfunctional neural plasticity has been proposed as a key pathophysiological mechanism. OBJECTIVE To evaluate neural plasticity in unmedicated and medicated patients with schizophrenia compared with healthy subjects. DESIGN Neura...
متن کاملPreliminary Evidence for Training-Induced Changes of Morphology and Phantom Limb Pain
The aim of this study was to investigate whether a special prosthetic training in phantom limb pain patients aimed at increasing the functional use of the prosthesis leads to neural morphological plasticity of brain structures and a reduction in phantom limb pain. For chronic pain disorders, it was shown that morphological alterations due to pain might become at least partially reversed by pain...
