McMaster University in West Hamilton, Ontario, and colleagues compared
preschool children who had taken music lessons with those who did not.
Those with some training showed larger brain responses on a number of
sound recognition tests given to the children. Her research indicated
that musical training appears to modify the brain's auditory cortex.
