Artists 'have structurally different brains'
By Melissa HogenboomScience reporter, BBC Radio Science

Artists have structurally different brains compared with non-artists, a study has found.

 

Participants' brain scans revealed that artists had increased neural matter in areas relating to fine motor movements and visual imagery.

But training and environmental upbringing also play crucial roles in their ability, the authors report.

 

As in many areas of science, the exact interplay of nature and nurture remains unclear.
