A Voxel-Based Morphometry Study of the Brain of University Students Majoring in Music and Nonmusic Disciplines

Figure 4

Gray matter density differences between nonmusic (NM), music hobby (MH), and music expert (ME) groups at the selected voxel (MNI coordinates are given in Table 2 for (a)–(g) and in the text for (h)-(i)). Vertical red bars indicate 90% confidence intervals. (a) Left middle occipital gyrus (BA 18); (b) right inferior frontal gyrus; (c) lingual gyrus; (d) left middle occipital gyrus (BA 19); (e) right superior temporal gyrus; (f) precuneus; (g) right caudate nucleus; (h) right superior parietal lobule; (i) left temporal pole.
