Do musicians have different brains?

    The answer is very simple and short. Yes. The medical experiments have shown that musicians have larger volumes of gray matter in specific brain areas than non-musicians.

     "Anatomists would be hard put to identify the brain of a visual artist, a writer, or a mathematician - but they could recognize the brain of a professional musician without a moment's hesitation," writes Dr. Oliver Sacks in his book Musicophilia.

     Is that a reason why Aiva the Flutist has a bigger head than an average cartoon? Probably. Aiva loves flute and as a kid has spent lot of her free time exploring the musical world. I guess these practicing hours have made her brain and head grow more and more. There is just one question. If Aiva the Flutist stopped playing flute, would her brain shrink?
