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

Table 2

Brain regions and peak locations (in MNI coordinates) that differed between music expert and nonmusic groups. Brain regions with cluster sizes, voxels (expected voxels per cluster), are shown. (uncorrected) for two-sample -tests; otherwise, (uncorrected).
