Listen to Mozart, Become a Genius

Not quite, but a scientific experiment showed that musicians brainstem is altered.

It was thought that the brainstem was unchangeable and not involved in complex processes. But, that all changed after an experiment that proved the brain stem actually can become altered and rewired.

These experiment leads to a whole class of questions related to how and why the brainstem is able to change.

I wonder if listening to music with high degree of complexity can improve intelligence by rewiring the cerebral cortex?

I will put on some Mozart now and lets see how long it will take me to become a genius. :)
