Abstract
Impact of musical expertise on functional capabilities of frontal brain regions remains elusive. We used fMRI to investigated differential BOLD responses
between musicians and non-musicians. Musicians showed a different activation pattern with an activation in the right ventromedial prefrontal cortex,
bilateral inferior frontal gyrus and left superior temporal gyrus. BOLD signal showed a significant correlation to behaviourally tested ability to discriminate
changes in sound patterns. Our data shows that prefrontal cortex is engaged in melody processing. Activation in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex supports
the hypothesis that this area is a node that is important for binding music with memories within an broader melody-responsive network.
