Advances in molecular technologies make it possible to pinpoint genomic factors associated
with complex human traits. For cognition and behaviour, identification of underlying genes …

To date, studies have demonstrated the dynamic influence of exogenous environmental
stimuli on multiple regions of the brain. This environmental influence positively and …

It is unknown if the white-matter properties associated with specific visual networks
selectively affect category-specific processing. In a novel protocol we combined …

Professional musicians are a popular model for investigating experience-dependent
plasticity in human large-scale brain networks. A minority of musicians possess absolute …

Numerous cross-sectional and observational longitudinal studies show associations
between expertise and regional brain anatomy. However, since these designs confound …

Aging is associated with a decline in social understanding and general cognition. Both are
integral to wellbeing and rely on similar brain regions. Thus, as the population ages, there is …

Human auditory cortex (AC) organization resembles the core-belt-parabelt organization in
nonhuman primates. Previous studies assessed mostly spatial characteristics; however …

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

As a functional homolog for left-hemispheric syntax processing in language, neuroimaging
studies evidenced involvement of right prefrontal regions in musical syntax processing, of …

Acquired amusia provides a unique opportunity to investigate the fundamental neural
architectures of musical processing due to the transition from a functioning to defective …
