After professional English violinist Dagmar Turner agreed to undergo an operation to remove a brain tumor, a team of doctors at King’s College Hospital in London, England, developed a plan to minimize the risk of damaging the region of her brain responsible for playing the violin.
According to Yahoo News, Keyoumars Ashkan, a neurosurgeon consultant at the hospital and a musician himself, led the effort out of concern that the team would be operating in the right frontal lobe of the brain, which is responsible for commanding Turner’s left hand movement – a region of the body essential for playing the violin effectively.
