MUSIC INCREASES INTELLIGENCE!


Music-whether it is in the prenatal stage, in infancy, or throughout your childhood-helps neurons in our brains form connections that may help us understand language. Harvard University medical neurobiologist Mark Tramo, MD, states, "There's an undeniable biology of music. In our brains, millions of neurons form circuits, or networks, that are uniquely activated when we listen to music. These neurons are spread out in many regions of the brain, including the auditory centers in both the left and right hemispheres. These circuits may also be involved in memory, attention, emotion, motor control, and language."
In adults, music can help regulate heart rate and lower blood pressure.
For your enjoyment-as an inspiration and a solace, as a stimulant and a relaxant, and a companion for every mood:
