Exposure to Music and Noise During Pregnancy Influences Neurogenesis and Thickness in Motor and Somatosensory Cortex of Rat Pups

Abstract: PurposePrenatal environmental conditions affect the development of the fetus. In the present study, we investigated the effects of exposure to music and noise during pregnancy on neurogenesis and thickness in the motor and somatosensory cortex of rat pups.MethodsThe pregnant rats in the music-applied group were exposed to 65 dB of comfortable music for 1 hour, once per day, from the 15th day of pregnancy until delivery. The pregnant rats in the noise-applied group were exposed to 95 dB of sound from a superson… Show more

“…For the detection of newly generated cells in the dentate gyrus, BrdU-specific immunohistochemistry was performed as previously described ( Cho et al, 2013 ; Kim et al, 2013 ). Five sections on average were selected in each brain region spanning from Bregma −3.30 mm to −4.16 mm.…”

“…Hence, Kim et al . [ 17 ] separated pregnant rats into two groups and had one group listen to the noise and the other group to the music. They detected that there were decreases in the motor cortex and somatosensory cortical thicknesses and in the neurogenesis of the offspring of rats exposed to the noise, while in contrast, these values increased in those exposed to the music, and they provided evidences for neurological impact related to the noise.…”

“…In contrast, prenatal music exposure can improve neurogenesis in the hippocampus and spatial ability in newborn mice. [60][61] Brains that grow in a stimulus-rich environment have thicker cortex, larger nucleus neuron cells and more glia cells. Brain neurons that grow in there have more dendritic sites, allowing more synapses to form.…”
