Abstract

Preterm infants have a high risk of neurodevelopmental problem with a decrease of functional capacity of brain network. Without early intervention, it will develop as long-lasting brain network deficiency. We examine the studies of music effect on early life of preterm infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICU). It founds that music has a positive correlation with brain development in preterm infants. The preterm infants exposed with repetitive music as NICU environment enrichment have a chance to develop brain as good as the term infants and have long-lasting beneficial effects on brain development.
