Yep! That's right. I practice scales hours every day as I teach singers.

Some guy from Vancouver's Brain Research Center said they'd recently learned that new brain cells involved in learning continue to emerge every day throughout old age, apparently at a rate of about 1000 per day if focused solely on cognitive skills, and around 3000 per day when actually doing physical exercise. Though we have about 10 billion brain cells, each with 10's of 1000s of connections, not all areas are tied up in learning. And specific areas can grow larger with focused skills such as practicing piano scales, increasing the area associated with fingers only. Unfortunate that the athletically trained often suffer such body aches in late life, and have to forgo those good habits.
