Contact in the Corpus Callosum is the brain part two and a half of the brain, is made up of nerve axonal. As early as 1995, getefulide·shilaoge is the author of this study found that professional musician began practicing a musical instrument before the age of 7 more hypertrophy of Corpus Callosum.
Schlaugh and his colleagues Mali·fuyaer and ailun· Wen is satisfied using magnetic resonance imaging study on 31 children. Experts through analysis of this technology to their brain, research on children at the age of 6 for the first time, then in them at the age of 9 for a second time.
In the first study, 6 children continued to practice musical instruments, at least 2.5 hours per week. At the age of 6 to 9 in recent years, their growth rates higher than the overall growth rate of the brain of the Corpus Callosum 25%. Conversely, in practice only 1-2 hours per week or simply abandon the practice of children have not found such a growth rate of the Corpus Callosum. All adhere to the practice of children playing piano or violin, musical instrument of this is two hands coordination actions.
The other hand, the researchers found in all its practitioners, the growth of the Corpus Callosum and a need to beat the computer keyboard is proportional to the non-music in the test results. Exercise instruments can improve and hands coordination action-related nerve connections.
Schlaugh and his research team will continue the study of the child, to know when practicing a musical instrument can bring other benefits such as improved memory and logical reasoning, and so on.
