Playing Musical Instrument May Boost Brain's Audio-Motor Connect
Is your son or daughter keen on learning to play a guitar or piano? Allow them, as according to a study, playing any musical instrument throughout life may help improve the connection.
Is your son or daughter keen on learning to play a guitar or piano? Allow them, as according to a study, playing any musical instrument throughout life may help improve the connection between the brain's hearing area and the motor zone.
The findings showed that musical training produces an increase in audio-motor interactions in the right hemisphere at rest.
"This indicates that when a musician trains and spends many years learning to play a musical instrument, there are more effective connections between the auditory and motor systems, which are the regions mainly involved in playing an instrument," said Maraa Angeles Palomar-Garcia, researcher at the Universitat Jaume I (UJI) in Spain.
Further, the research also revealed an adaptation in musicians' brain areas responsible for controlling hand movement. Specifically, participants with musical training had reduced connectivity between the motor regions that control both hands, but may have greater autonomy between their hands.
This, "may reflect a greater skill with both hands for these musicians, compared to the participants who had no musical training, due to the need to use both hands in an independent and coordinated way to play their instrument," Palomar-Garcia explained.
For the study, published in the journal Cerebral Cortex, the team studied the impact of music training on the brain through both functional and structural images of the brain in rest through high field magnetic resonance imaging.
The study also revealed a degree of brain plasticity, which indicates that the brain is able to adapt itself.
