Release date: 2014-06-23 Researchers have found that children's music classes improve their brain ability. Researchers have found that children who experience early music training are good at handling and remembering information and solving problems quickly. The above figure shows the fMRI image at the time of mental work, and the A and B pictures show the brain scan images of the music training group and the non-music training group. Panel C shows the increased brain activity of the music training group compared to the non-music training group. The so-called music training is that children have to have a private music class teacher, playing a musical instrument for more than two years. Children's Hospital Boston researchers conducted the current study with fMRI image scanning. The results of this study are similar to those in adults, with similar results for 15 musicians versus non-musicians. Because family factors influence whether a child accepts a private music course, the researchers matched the parental education, work status, and family income of the music and non-music groups. It also matches the child's IQ, and the researchers used fMRI to scan the child's brain during cognitive testing. Adult cognitive and music-trained children showed a high level of performance in several executive functions during cognitive testing. The fMRI images of children trained in music during the test showed an increase in the activity level of specific areas of the prefrontal cortex during the conversion of mental tasks. The auxiliary motion zone, the anterior recruitment zone, and the right ventral lateral prefrontal cortex are known brain regions associated with executive function. The researchers also expressed the desire to conduct further research to confirm whether music can be used as a therapeutic intervention tool for childhood and adult diseases.
