A neurogénese confirmada...

Citando:
"Investigadores da Universidade Autónoma de Madrid descobriram que o cérebro continua a produzir neurónios ao longo da vida. A pesquisa, publicada na revista Nature Medicine na segunda-feira, chegou à conclusão de que já nascemos com a maioria das nossas células cerebrais, mas os cientistas encontraram neurónios novos ou “imaturos” até à nona década de vida.

Isso confirmaria a neurogénese, ou seja, a formação de novos neurónios."

A música e o efeito no cérebro

Citando:
"If you love it when a musician strikes that unexpected but perfect chord, you are not alone. New research shows the musically unexpected activates the reward center of our brains, and makes us learn about the music as we listen.

Researchers led by Ben Gold, a PhD candidate in the lab of Robert Zatorre at The Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital), of McGill University, put 20 volunteers through a musical reward learning task. Each participant chose a color, then a direction. Each choice came with a certain probability of leading to either a consonant, pleasurable, musical excerpt or a dissonant, unpleasurable one. Over time the subjects learned which choices were more likely to produce both consonant and dissonant music. The test was designed to create an expectation of either musical enjoyment or dissatisfaction. Subjects performed this task while their brain activity was measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)."

Citação:
"They found that a brain region called the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) was highly active while the mice were watching the video.

The SCN is a tiny region in the hypothalamus that controls when animals fall asleep or wake up.

When the mouse saw other mice scratching, the brain's SCN released a chemical substance called GRP (gastrin-releasing peptide).

A previous study by the researchers found that GRP is a key chemical transmitter of 'itch signals' between the skin and the spinal cord."
