Check out our new preprint on how infants respond to music over the first year of life! 👶🧠💃🎶 While neural responses are pretty much ready to go in the youngest, moving to music takes a bit longer, becoming more complex and potentially more dance-like by 12 months. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Körpersignale spielen bereits im Säuglingsalter eine Rolle in der Entwicklung 👶 Bislang ist kaum erforscht, ob & wie Babys ihre eigenen Körpersignale wahrnehmen können. Eine Studie der Wiener Kinderstudien der Uni Wien zeigt erstmals, dass bereits 3 Monate alte Babys ihren Herzschlag wahrnehmen. 💓 ⤵️
