Music promotes brain development and language
American scientists have discovered massive changes in the right hemisphere of the human brain in the process of evolution. The right brain has the function of recepting music, and is closely related to the development of the left brain, which governs language activities.
Many brain researchers believe that the specific structure of the left hemisphere of the brain is related to language and analytical thinking, making humans much smarter than animals. Therefore, the left hemisphere of the brain is considered very important, while many other areas of the right brain are only considered to have auxiliary functions. Only later did researchers understand that the right hemisphere of the brain can direct complex behaviors and even help people understand writing.
Karl Zille of the Juelich Research Center, and Dean Falk of Florida National University, used magnetic resonance technology to monitor the brain activity of 10 people and 10 chimpanzees (one of man's closest relatives).
The results showed that the right hemisphere of the human brain is much different from that of chimpanzees than that of the left hemisphere.
According to scientists, the wrinkles of the right brain have changed to promote human language and thinking abilities (since the right brain is closely involved in cognitive processes on the left side of the brain). Zille said: "Since the right brain is in charge of musical perceptions, it can be said that music helps develop language."
