> Romansh: I am begining to wonder if there is some difference in our physical structures in our brains. -
Of course there is. My memories and education are not yours. I am left-handed. So I start with structural differences to a right-handed person, but I add my medical knowledge in school and experience over the years, and the neurons and connections will be different than yours. And these diffrences may be so small they would never appear on an fMRI.

> RomanshLast year I bought a car with a automatic transmission ... it took a while to become accustomed to it. The car must have very slightly restructured my brain.

> There is a big difference between I change my brain structure and my brain structure changes.-Your experience with the car changed some of your driving coordination and your brain is now different. And your practice in the new car made the brain change. There is not a big difference if yhou recognize that the brain interprets your new practices and adapts accordingly. Your brain is able to respond to new muscle coordination practices. How do you learn tennis or backetball maneuvers otherwise? Your physically repeated practice intentions modify the brain. How else do you gain new skills? What do you think practicing the piano does to your brain? Reading skills, finger skills, timing skills all must be learned, modifying the brain.
