With the advent of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), the study of plastic changes in white matter
architecture due to long-term practice has attracted increasing interest. Professional …

Dance and music training have shared and distinct features. Both demand long and intense
physical training to master. Dance engages the whole body, and requires the integration of …

In recent years, musicians have been increasingly recruited to investigate grey and white
matter neuroplasticity induced by skill acquisition. The development of Diffusion Tensor …

Between-group comparisons of musicians and nonmusicians have revealed structural brain
differences and also functional differences in motor performance. In this study, we aimed to …

Previous studies found structural brain differences between musicians and non-musicians.
In order to determine possible differences in white matter architecture, diffusion tensor …

Auditory cues are frequently used to support movement learning and rehabilitation, but the
neural basis of this behavioural effect is not yet clear. We investigated the microstructural …

Training during a sensitive period in development may have greater effects on brain
structure and behavior than training later in life. Musicians are an excellent model for …

Using diffusion tensor imaging, we investigated effects of piano practicing in childhood,
adolescence and adulthood on white matter, and found positive correlations between …

Previous neuroimaging studies have demonstrated that musical expertise leads to functional
alterations in language processing. We utilized diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to investigate …

The current study combined structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) and diffusion
tensor MRI (DT-MRI) to investigate both gray matter density (GMD) and white matter integrity …
