Ilpg is longer on the left in most people because (right handed) musicians longer on right than non musicians musicians that started lessons earlier have a longer ilpg. Ap listeners have larger asymmetry than nonap smaller right pt in ap listeners (pitch processing) Rp listeners process pitch on right but ap listeners label on left. Ap both phonemes & tones on left functional di erence (not structural)di erence in blood ow. Synesthetes & ap activate same area: connectivity, development? musicians appear to have enhanced connectivity w/in hemisphere as well as between them.
