Rats, which are exposed to Mozart＇s Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major, complete learning tasks of the Moriss water maze with significantly shorter latencies, and the power spectrum of alpha band of electrohippocampogram （EHG） significantly increase, compared with the control rats and rats exposed to the horror music. The results indicate that if given the stimulation of Mozart music in the developmental period of the auditory cortex, the capability of the spatial learning-memory can be significantly changed. The enhancement of alpha band of EHG may be related to the change of this function mainly.展开更多

文摘This paper studies the effect of musical stimulations on the capability of the spatial learningmemory in developing rats by behavioral and electrophysiological techniques. Rats, which are exposed to Mozart＇s Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major, complete learning tasks of the Moriss water maze with significantly shorter latencies, and the power spectrum of alpha band of electrohippocampogram （EHG） significantly increase, compared with the control rats and rats exposed to the horror music. The results indicate that if given the stimulation of Mozart music in the developmental period of the auditory cortex, the capability of the spatial learning-memory can be significantly changed. The enhancement of alpha band of EHG may be related to the change of this function mainly.
