Abstract
Early music exposure significantly enhances learning performance in developing rats, as shown by improved water maze test results.
- Exposure to Mozart K.448 was linked to enhanced learning abilities in a water maze task.
- BDNF/TrkB levels in the dorsal hippocampus regions CA3 and dentate gyrus increased following music exposure.
- No significant change in BDNF/TrkB levels was observed in the dorsal hippocampus CA1 region.
- The findings suggest a potential relationship between music exposure and spatial memory improvement in rats.
