Neural implementation of musical expertise and cognitive transfers: Could they be promising in the framework of normal cognitive aging?
Brain plasticity allows the central nervous system of a given organism to cope with environmental demands. Therefore, the quality of mental processes relies partly on the interaction between the brain’s physiological maturation and individual daily experiences.In this review, we focus on the neural...
