Long-Term Effects of Musical Training and Functional Plasticity in Salience System

Figure 5

The group-level functional connectivity maps seeded at 6 ROIs and their difference between musicians and nonmusicians. The first column shows the seeds; the second and the third column illustrated the positive (hot color) and negative (cool color) functional connectivity with the seeds rendered onto a three-dimension brain reconstruction. The last column (axis images) represents significantly increased functional connectivity in musicians compared with nonmusicians. ROIs’ abbreviations are consistent with those shown in Table 1.
