[ExI] neuroscience questions

[William Flynn Wallace]

Does anyone know why it is that pro athletes and, just for another example,
classically trained musicians need to practice so much?

My violinist friend said:  "If I don't practice today, I know it.  If I
don't practice tomorrow, you'll know it.  If I don't practice the next day,
everyone will know it."

Could it be that rarely practiced skills representing certain brain areas
get taken over by new concerns?  I have no clue.
