Introduction: It has shown that listening to Mozart music can potentiate spatial tasks in human and reduce seizure attacks in epileptic patients. A few studies have reported the effects of prenatal plus postpartum exposure of mice to the Mozart music on brain-drived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the hippocampus. Here we investigated the effect of postpartum exposure to The Mozart music on BDNF ...

In the first Mozart Effect study, Rauscher, Shaw, and Ky [1] found that exposure to a Mozart sonata enhanced visuo-spatial task performance. In this study, we sought to examine whether there was such an effect on three spatial ability sub-factors, namely spatial visualization factor (the paper folding test), spatial relation factor (card rotation test) and perceptual speed factor (hidden patter...

A representation of atmospheric chemistry has been included in the Integrated Forecasting System (IFS) of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). The new chemistry modules complement the aerosol modules of the IFS for atmospheric composition, which is named C-IFS. C-IFS for chemistry supersedes a coupled system in which chemical transport model (CTM) Model for OZone and ...

Potato (Solanum tuberosum) is a major crop world-wide and the productivity of currently used cultivars is strongly reduced at high soil salt levels. We compared the response of six potato cultivars to increased root NaCl concentrations. Cuttings were grown hydroponically and treated with 0 mM, 60 mM and 180 mM NaCl for one week. Growth reduction on salt was strongest for the cultivars Mozart an...

The “Mozart effect” is an increase in spatial reasoning scores after listening to a Mozart piano sonata. Both the production and interpretation of the effect are controversial. Many studies have failed to replicate the original effect. Other studies have explained a Mozart effect as being caused by changes in arousal or differences in preferences of the listener. F. H. Rauscher, K. D. Robinson,...

Müzik birtakım duygu ve düşünceleri belli kurallar çerçevesinde uyumlu seslerle anlatma sanatıdır. Müziğin canlılar üzerindeki etkisinin sadece duygudurumlarında değişiklik yaratmak ya da sanatsal haz vermekle sınırlı olmadığı; aynı zamanda bir takım rahatsızlıklara iyi gelebileceği düşünülmüştür. Bu düşünce bazı araştırmacıları müziğin deney hayvanları insanlar etkilerini incelemeye yöneltmişt...

The Mozart effect involves the enhancement of spatial processing after listening to a Mozart piano sonata (Rauscher, Dhaw, and Ky, 1993). Efforts to replicate the Mozart effect have been mixed, possibly due to differences in dependent variable operationalization across studies or large individual differences in magnitude of effect. Chabria and Kosslyn (1998) found that coordinate spatial proces...
