The enlargement of the somatosensory area for dominant fingers in violin players is an example of the effects of __________ on brain plasticity.

Violin players repeatedly use their fingers for precise movements, and this practice can enlarge the brain areas that respond to those fingers. This shows how personal experience can shape the brain through plasticity. Neural reorganization describes changes in how brain areas are arranged or take on functions, but the key cause here is the musicians’ repeated experience.
