Another thing, I do not know if this thread should be the place but take a look at this:

Quote
Using diffusion tensor imaging, we investigated effects of piano practicing in childhood, adolescence and adulthood on white matter, and found positive correlations between practicing and fiber tract organization in different regions for each age period. For childhood, practicing correlations were extensive and included the pyramidal tract, which was more structured in pianists than in non-musicians. Long-term training within critical developmental periods may thus induce regionally specific plasticity in myelinating tracts.
There is a huge collection of works supporting the Volodos p.o.v., in a way. It is a pleasure to see that there was also a pianist involved in this one (Ullen). It may be a piece for elephants after all...
