Does Music Affect Plant Growth? - 3 views

  • there have been experiments which compel us to believe that music does affect plant growth
  • 'touch me not' which recoils and folds within itself at a slight touch.
  • They do have feelings and can sense

  • those exposed to soothing music grew better than the others. In one case, the plants had bent towards the music playing device! These plants were lush green with healthy stems.
  • does music affect plant growth? Well, yes
  • if there is a constant monotone that is being played, then it does not significantly affect plant growth
  • if it is mild, classical music, definite change of rate can be observed, in the growth of plants
  • It is a lengthy process, though. How music affects plant growth, cannot be observed within days of the plant being exposed to music. It takes weeks to identify the effects of music on plants.

      Could be a problem if not enough time is available...
  • After a while he observed that those plants had grown better than the other plants in the house, even though the regular watering was same for all.

EBSCOhost: Developmental Sex Differences in the Relation of Neuroanatomical Connectivi... - 0 views

  • Recent neuroimaging research has shown sex-related differences in the relationship between brain structure and cognitive function.
  • Recent neuroimaging research has shown sex-related differences in the relationship between brain structure and cognitive function. Anatomical studies have shown a greater reliance for cognitive function on white matter structure in adult females, and a greater reliance on gray matter structure in adult males. Functional neuroimaging studies have also shown a greater correlation between brain connectivity and cognitive function in females.
  • Significant sex-X-IQ interactions on fractional anisotropy (FA), a marker for white matter organization, were seen in the left frontal lobe, in fronto-parietal areas bilaterally, and in the arcuate fasciculus bilaterally, with girls showing positive correlations of FA with IQ, and boys showing a negative correlation.

  • These results strongly corroborate previous findings regarding sex differences in structure-function relationships regarding intelligence.
