Add a second wee problem. Rats do not hear much of the music because the piano note frequencies are below abolute threshold for rats.

Hi Ron-

Thanks for passing on the article. It's nice to know that we now have a
"molecular" explanation for a non-existant phenomenon. Not very surprising
that the work came out of Rauscher's lab as she seems to be the only one
who can relibly reproduce this effect. I have had three separate groups of
students attempt to replicate the Mozart effect on three different
occassions and all of them were unsuccessful. I'll get a bit more excited
about this work when it's replicated by an independant lab.

All the best,

-Don.

New research has revealed a molecular basis for the "Mozart effect" -
the observation that a brief stint of Mozart, but not other music, may
improve learning and memory.
