It's amazing how many people still think that the unborn child is totally protected from her mother's environment, but the fact is that the infant brain is developing from the moment of conception and is affected by the sounds, feelings, and actions of the mother. There are certain organs that are on a genetically predetermined path and will not be affected by external events: the heart, the ovaries, the lungs are not affected by what is going on in mother's environment. The brain is different!
Research has shown that if the mother is listening to highly structured classical music, such as Mozart, Pachelbel, Bach, or other composers of the Baroque period, more neural connections develop in the infant brain and create and greater neural infrastructure for future learning. Fascinating, eh?
