People who practice movements to music, showing increased interaction between brain areas
Learning any physical action to the music is able to strengthen the power of the brain through changes in its structure. To such conclusion came researchers from Scotland who was watching people move to music.
The next time you try to learn new yoga postures or Golf swing, turn on the music. The use of music during the process of assimilation of certain physical actions substantially develops a very important part of the brain, the study showed.
People who practice the basic movements to music demonstrate increased structural connectivity between brain regions that process sound and movement control. The researchers hope that future research work will determine the ability of music to develop a special kind of rehabilitation programmes for people who have lost part of mobility like stroke victims.
Scientists from the University of Edinburgh proved that the brain to the music more actively sends signals to cells for entry into connection with each other. According to experts, the results of this work are very positive for future methods of rehabilitation of patients after certain diseases, leading to the loss of mobility. Research shows that music makes these programs more effective.
“We have long been known that music encourages people to move more actively, say the authors of the study. – Our work was the first experimental proof that the inclusion of music in the process of learning new motor skills leads to changes in the structure of the white matter of the brain. These conclusions we made after the divided right-handed volunteers into two groups and instructed them to learn new tasks requiring sequential movements of fingers on not dominant they have left hand. The first group of our volunteers were trained in this task with the help of the music and another without music. After 4 weeks, MRI scans showed that the music group significantly increased the structural links in the right half of the brain, and in non-musical group, these changes were not”.
