Dance and music share gray matter structural correlates

Highlights • Gray matter structure was compared in dancers, musicians and untrained controls. • Brain structure-behaviour correlations were examined using dance and music tasks. • Dancers and musicians had thicker cortex than controls in superior temporal areas. • Superior temporal gyrus structure w...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Gray matter structure was compared in dancers, musicians and untrained controls. • Brain structure-behaviour correlations were examined using dance and music tasks. • Dancers and musicians had thicker cortex than controls in superior temporal areas. • Superior temporal gyrus structure was correlated with dance and music task scores. • Structure in the inferior frontal gyrus was correlated with dance task scores.
