Brain imaging shows enhanced executive brain function in people with musical training

I would think that any neurologist with a lick of brains would see this and create protocols for musical training for all stroke patients in order to increase their executive functions. Smarter patients would be a good thing, especially when they start challenging their doctors on their knowledge.

Summary:

A controlled study using functional MRI brain imaging reveals a possible biological link between early musical training and improved executive functioning in both children and adults, report researchers. The study uses functional MRI of brain areas associated with executive function, adjusting for socioeconomic factors.
