How Pianists' Brains Are Different From Other People's Brains

This was a fascinating article from Mic.com that I read yesterday.  We all know that learning to play the piano develops different areas of the brain, but this article does a good job of explaining exactly what happens in several scenarios.  The videos are also helpful.

I think it is impressive that not only can we learn a new skill, but by the act of learning that skill, we can actually create new neural pathways in the brain that enhance many different abilities we already have.
