SvenskaCurrently I am trying to collect new energy. It feels like I am done with an exam that has taken years. Music is really a way for me to relax. And right now only classical music. I remember, since I am interested in neurobiology, that music affects the brain a lot. I read a book many years ago about music and the brain hemispheres, and that the interplay between the left and right hemispheres is crucial for learning music. Maybe there is a relationship between languages and music that can explain this sudden craving for classical music?
Language is well organized in the left hemisphere where the understanding of languages is located in Wernicke´s area, and the articulation of language is located in the Broca´s area. Interestingly, it seems like musicians have more bilateral neural connectivity than non-musicians for the plastic developmental changes caused by extended musical training. Music seem to activate the right hemisphere in non-musicians, whereas both hemispheres in musicians are more or less activated when stimulated by music such as rhythm, melody, harmony and musical memory. I found this information from a mini-review written by Gizzi and Albi where they ask “Can language drive the music?”.
Language and music are both very fascinating subjects and there is no doubt that I am addicted to both of them. I tried to find a photo with some writing ambiance, and I found this where I am having a cup of tea. Also, something I cannot live without.
