Özet

Objective: Recent studies neuroimaging showed that continues environmental stimuli can induce structural changes in the brain. Compared to later life, during formal education in school and university; human brain is not only continuously Stimulated with new information but also retrieves the already learned information and extends it with the new one. In this study, we explored the effects of this extensive learning process on brain structure by using voxel-based morphometry (VBM) -DARTEL method.
