　　The findings build on earlier work that suggests musical training before the age of seven can have a significant impact on the brain’s development.Music lessons in early childhood lead to changes in the brain that could improve its performance far into adulthood,researchers say.

　　Brain scans of young adults showed that those who had formal musical training before the age of seven had thicker brain regions that deal with hearing and self-awareness.The findings highlight how brain development can be influenced by the age that children start to learn a musical instrument,and how those changes can persist into later life.

　　“Early musical training does more good for kids than just making it easier for them to enjoy music.It changes the brain and these brain changes could lead to cognitive(认知的) advances as well,”said Yunxin Wang of Beijing Normal University.She tried to find out whether musical training early on in life had any lasting effect on the structure of the brain.She hoped the results might help parents decide when was the best for their children to learn an instrument.

　　After taking gender and the number of years spent having music lessons into account,Wang found that musical training that started before the age of seven appeared to thicken areas of the brain involved in language skills and executive(执行的) function,which is a person’s ability to plan and carry out tasks.She presented the results at the Society for Neuroscience annual meeting in San Diego.
