چکیده مقاله:

Introduction: Over the last centuries, scientists have been trying to figure out how the brain is learning the language. By 1980, the study of brain-language relationships was based on the study of human brain damage. But since 1980, neuroscience methods have greatly improved. There is controversy about where music, composition, or the perception of language and music are in the brain, or whether each of the cerebral hemispheres plays a role in language and music processes and despite the many discoveries and findings, there is still no definite answer. From the very beginning, the child is able to hear the sounds. These sounds are initially raw and pointless and gradually begin with the child's interaction with the language learning environment. Language like music has powerful rhythm patterns. The syllable timing helps the listener to recognize a sound from another and to understand what the other says. The ability to recognize the difference in sounds helps babies to speak. Many studies have suggested that the processing and perceptual regions of music overlap with the areas involved in comprehension and linguistic comprehension. Furthermore, there is a positive relationship between the practice and skill in musical and cognitive abilities, such as language. Long-term reinforcement of this relationship creates new cognitive abilities other than music. Conclusion: Music stimulates many areas in the brain in addition to the cerebral cortex, which overlap with many linguistic processing areas, such as the left temporal region. The syntax of musical sentences is processed in the same regions where the syntax of linguistic sentences is processed.

Sharing and Nonsharing of Brain Resources for Language and Music

Several theoretical and practical issues in cognitive neuroscience motivate research into the relations of language and music in the brain. Such research faces a puzzle. Currently, evidence for striking dissociations between language and music coexists with evidence for similar processing mechanisms (e.g., Peretz 2006; Patel 2008). The intent of this chapter is to initiate a dialog about how su...

Music, evolution and language.

Darwin (1871) noted that the human musical faculty 'must be ranked amongst the most mysterious with which he is endowed'. Indeed, previous research with human infants and young children has revealed that we are born with variable musical capabilities. Here, the adaptive purpose served by these differing capabilities is discussed with reference to comparative findings regarding the acoustic beha...

Music and the brain.

D r. Montinaro has presented us with a provocative and at times poetic analysis of the Musical Brain. He begins by highlighting the amazing parallels between music and the brain, in terms of structure, organization, and function—anatomic, histologic, and as-sociative. The reciprocal relationship between the inner " music " of brain function and the outer " music " that can on occasion stimulate...

Music and brain science

Activities of the central nervous system in vertebrates can be analyzed in terms of their cognitive, emotional and motor aspects. Primitive stages of the functions can be identified even in fish and birds, but they attain a much richer expression in mammals, culminating in humans with the emergence of language, art and music. We will discuss the neural basis of acoustic cognition and emotion, t...

Are music and language homologues?

I have argued previously that music and language are homologous functions that evolved from a common ancestor that embodied their shared features, something that I have called the “musilanguage” system.1 According to this model, the shared/ parallel features of music and language evolved before their distinct, domainspecific features. These parallel features include use of a limited pool of dis...
