Not only people react to Music, rats they also move rhythmically, although their reactions are less noticeable, a Japanese study found.

Researchers at the University of Tokyo turned on the music of Mozart, Queen and Lady Gaga to rats Equipped with mini sensors to detect minimal movements. The study is published in Science Advances.

After their observations, they discovered that rodents have an innate ability to synchronize their movements with rhythm, a talent that was thought to be unique to humans.

“The brains of rats designed to respond well to Music”Even though their bodies don’t move much,” wrote Associate Professor Hirokazu Takahashi, who is part of the study team.

“We all think that Music it has magical powers, but we don’t know anything about its mechanisms,” he said.

The scientists sought to find out which sound connections attract the brain without the influence of emotion or memory.

For ratsthe reaction was most pronounced to music in the range from 120 to 140 beats per minute, as in humans.

This has led scientists to speculate that this may be a common reaction across species.

” Music it moves the body and it goes beyond the auditory system (…) the power of the sound is fantastic,” said Takahashi.

The research focused primarily on Mozart’s Two Piano Sonata in D major, but the researchers also dabbled in pop from Lady Gaga’s Born This Way, Queen’s Another Bites the Dust and Michael Jackson’s Beat It.

Takahashi said he wanted to study the effects of melody and harmony on the brain in the future.

“If a Music affects emotions, it would be very interesting to observe this in animals,” he said.
