Un bambino nato prematuro è più sano e sereno se le neomamme lo circondano di musica classica, quella di Mozart in particolare. E’ la scoperta degli scienziati del centro medico dell’Università di Tel Aviv. Lo studio è stato pubblicato sulla rivista “Pediatrics“.
Il consiglio nasce dagli obiettivi di un qualsiasi reparto di terapia intensiva neonatale, ovvero far aumentare di peso i piccoli nati prima del tempo in modo da farli arrivare a un peso accettabile prima di dimetterli al fine di rinforzare le sue difese immunitarie.
Infatti, dai risultati della ricerca è emerso che i bimbi che sentono una sonata di Mozart crescono e guadagnano peso più in fretta perché sembrano aver bisogno di meno calorie.

The Mozart effect can refer to:
* A set of research results that indicate that listening to Mozart's music may induce a short-term improvement on the performance of certain kinds of mental tasks known as "spatial-temporal reasoning;"[1]
* Popularized versions of the theory, which suggest that "listening to Mozart makes you smarter", or that early childhood exposure to classical music has a beneficial effect on mental development;
* A US trademark for a set of commercial recordings and related materials, which are claimed to harness the effect for a variety of purposes. The trademark owner, Don Campbell, Inc.,[2] claims benefits far beyond improving spatio-temporal reasoning or raising intelligence, defining the mark as "an inclusive term signifying the transformational powers of music in health, education, and well-being."
The term was first coined by Alfred A. Tomatis who used Mozart's music as the listening stimulus in his work attempting to cure a variety of disorders. The approach has been popularized in a book by Don Campbell, and is based on an experiment published in Nature suggesting that listening to Mozart temporarily boosted students' IQ by 8 to 9 points.[3] As a result, the Governor of Georgia, Zell Miller, proposed a budget to provide every child born in Georgia with a CD of classical music.
