These lesions of the mind will in time also give lesions of the brain Part of Szasz' objection to much of psychiatry was that they didn't look for brain lesions, and without that he claimed there was no "disease". I would be interested to know if there was evidence of disorders of the mind leading to lesions of the brain rather than the other way round. Best case for that sort of thing discussed here.
There has been a great deal of argument over whether the differences seen between musicians and non-musicians is a pre-existing tendency, or a change brought about by extensive exposure to and playing of music.
It is quite clear, though, that certain kinds of reactions can have a very real and relatively easily detectable effect on brain structure.
