It connects cortical areas that are involved in decision making during voluntary movements as well as execution of motor activities. Thus a more efficient anterior section of the corpus callosum leads to better performance, at least in drumming. Prior studies have shown that thicker fibers were associated with quicker communication between the two hemispheres. The researchers believe that their anterior corpus callosum contains fewer fibers, but these fibers are thicker than those in the nondrummer control subjects. The study showed a distinct difference in the structure of the corpus callosum in drummers. The drummer study focused on white matter, principally the corpus callosum, which connects the brain hemispheres. Motor functions of the left hand (in a right-handed person) are controlled by both sides. When a right-handed person carries out a task with the right hand, the left hemisphere typically regulates it. Earlier studies of other types of musicians examined changes in the gray matter of the cortex (regions responsible for perception, memory, speech, and other functions). In a recently published study, multimethod neuroimaging was used to investigate the structural, functional, and biochemical features of drummers’ fine motor behavior. His chosen instrument and talent put him in a unique group drummers have the remarkable ability to perform complex tasks with their four limbs independently. Neil retired from his musical career in 2016 because of health problems, and died at age 67, on 7 January 2020 after a 3½-year battle with a brain tumor (glioblastoma).
The trio’s extraordinary drummer and lyricist Neil Peart was renowned for his technical proficiency, energy, and stamina. In February 1997 the members of the Canadian rock trio Rush were invested as officers of the Order of Canada.
