I wonder if the hand sensitivity amongs musicians depends on the musical instrument they play? It could as different instruments requires different abilities, so different areas in brains are developed. Moreover those results can indicate that cells in the brain are able to multiple during the whole life (as long as cortex areas's 'shrinking' and 'backing to normal' means difference in quantity, not only in response to stimulation). Quite interesting. Probably some convalescence will be invented soon.
