Fascinating Fact:
Professional musicians’ brains look different from non-musicians’. For starters, their brains tend to be more symmetrical and have larger areas dedicated to movement, hearing, and spatial awareness.
They also have a beefed-up corpus callosum, which helps the two sides communicate more efficiently.
These changes probably come from years of musical training, which pushes the brain to coordinate and sync up across both hemispheres.
Learning new instrument may also help slow brain aging in non-professional musicians.
