Adult musicians show superior neural sound discrimination when compared to
nonmusicians. However, it is unclear whether these group differences reflect the effects of …

Experience has a profound influence on how sound is processed in the brain. Yet little is
known about how enriched experiences interact with developmental processes to shape …

The influence of formal musical training on auditory cognition has been well established. For
the majority of children, however, musical experience does not primarily consist of adult …

Musician children and adults demonstrate biological distinctions in auditory processing
relative to nonmusicians. For example, musician children and adults have more robust …

Studies conducted during the last three decades have identified numerous differences
between musicians and non-musicians in neural correlates of sensory, motor, and higher …

Previous research has demonstrated that musicians show superior neural sound
discrimination when compared to non‐musicians, and that these changes emerge with …

Fundamental changes in brain structure and function during adolescence are well-
characterized, but the extent to which experience modulates adolescent neurodevelopment …

Musicians are often reported to have enhanced neurophysiological functions, especially in
the auditory system. Musical training is thought to improve nervous system function by …

The influence of musical experience on brain development has been mostly studied in
school-aged children with formal musical training while little is known about the possible …

Adult musician's brains show structural enlargements, but it is not known whether these are
