  • Music can influence our attention and cognitive functions without us realizing it, and it triggers neurotransmitter release in the brain that improves our mood and thinking.
  • This study examined how two types of music—Egyptian folk and classical—affected brain activity in 76 participants, revealing that different music genres activate distinct cortical areas in the brain, particularly influencing the frontal and occipital regions.
  • Findings showed that folk music led to a significant decrease in brain activity, indicating a relaxed state that could temporarily reduce cognitive abilities, while classical music was linked to an overall more relaxed brain state.

  • * Identifying specific species within SMG is challenging due to their genetic similarities, making traditional testing methods (like phenotypic tests and MALDI-TOF) unreliable.
  • * This study introduced a new method called LAMP (loop-mediated isothermal amplification) that uses unique molecular markers for accurate and quick identification of relevant SMG clinical isolates.
