The reason for this being true has to do with how our brain transmits neural messages. This research was conducted by Gordon Shaw and Francis Rauscher.   With the use of technology, Shaw was able to view the brain’s natural firing pattern and concluded that the patterns were spatial temporal and that listening to Mozart might stimulate a person’s spatial-temporal reasoning.   Results from his studies and working with individuals in the education realm demonstrated that listening to Mozart gave individuals a distinct advantage in terms of spatial task performance. Specifically, Shaw concluded the following : "The enhancing effect of the music condition is temporal, and does not extend beyond the 10-15 minute period during which subjects were engaged in each...

I'm honored to share the story of Tami Caudill and her determination to breastfeed her daughter, against all odds: My son who is now 3 was breastfed for 7 months, then was given pumped milk until 13 months.
