Neuroplasticity is defined as any structural or functional change in the central nervous system due to experience or adaptation to environmental pressures. (McFerran & Rickard, 2012) Recently, several studies have demonstrated that music has a significant impact on the human brain. There are many differences between the brains of musicians and non-musicians, such as volume, connectivity, morphology, density, and functional activity. (Merrett, Peretz, & Wilson, 2013) Over the past few decades, significant evidence has been found in research using music to induce neuronal plasticity. Since the 19th century, “abnormalities” have been reported in the brains of musicians during postmortem examinations. At that time, these differences were considered the reason for musical skills. (McFerran & Rickard, 2012) Nowadays, observing that musical expertise is linked to the amount of practice, scientists have postulated that some brain adaptation should occur in response to training. (Jancke, 2009) As the impact of intensive training on the brain became better understood, it reinforced the idea that differences in musicians' brains have more to do with neural plasticity than predisposition genetic. However, because not all children receiving music lessons will become professional musicians, it is difficult to determine whether or not musicians had atypical skills as children. This literature review aims to analyze these results and trends in musical neuroscience. The search included articles published within the past 10 years that responded to searches for the terms “music,” “brain,” and “plasticity” or “neuroplasticity” in the PubMed database. The impact of musical training in children has been studied intensively. In 2009, a longitudinal study demonstrated that it...... middle of article ......., Soinila, S., Mikkonen, M., . . .
