DESCRIPTION:Outstanding sensorimotor skills characterizing musicians have a
 ttracted people in the world over centuries. Nimble\, accurate\, efficient
 \, and dexterous movements are outcomes of neuromuscular adaptations elici
 ted by early and long-term musical training. However\, repetition of preci
 se motor actions for years sometimes triggers movement disorders such as t
 ask-specific focal dystonia and tremor. Although neuroimaging studies adva
 nced the understanding of neuroplastic mechanisms subserving acquisition a
 nd loss of virtuosity in musicians\, what remains elusive is computational
  mechanism responsible for optimizing the sensorimotor system for virtuosi
 c musical performance and for malfunctioning it through developing movemen
 t disorders. The present talk focuses on the following issues\; movement r
 eorganization at the musculoskeletal system possessing a large number of d
 egrees of freedom through musical training\, impacts of musical training o
 n auditory feedback control during musical performance\, neuromuscular det
 erminants of the inter-individual differences in motor skills among highly
 -skilled musicians\, and novel neuro-rehabilitation normalizing maladaptiv
 e neuronal changes elicited by musician’s dystonia.\n
