Musical Brains

When I told my wife that, according to this research, musicians have an auditory cortex (which is the part of the brain concerned with hearing) which contains 130 per cent more “grey matter” than in non-musicians, she said: “Amazing.  And you STILL can’t hear us when we call you!  What it REALLY amounts to is that musicians use a greater percentage of their brains to listen to music.  Like we didn’t KNOW this….”

I still thought it was pretty interesting to get it confirmed.
