The Brain

Music contains substantial contents that humans can perceive and thus has the capability to evoke positive emotions. Even though neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) can provide preterm infants a developmental environment, they still cannot fully simulate the environment in the womb. The reduced maternal care would increase stress levels in premature infants. Fortunately, music intervention has been proved that it can improve the NICU environment, such as stabilize the heart rate and the respiratory rate, reduce the incidence of apnea, and improve feeding. However, the effects of music therapy on the brain development of preterm infants need to be further investigated. In this paper, we evaluated the influence of short-term music therapy on the brain functions of preterm infants measured by functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). We began by investigating how premature babies perceive structural information of music by calculating the correlations between music features and fNIRS signals. Then, the influences of short-term music therapy on brain functions were evaluated by comparing the resting-state functional connectivity before and after the short-term music therapy. The results show that distinct brain regions are responsible for processing corresponding musical features, indicating that preterm infants have the capability to process the complex musical content. However, the results of network analysis show that short-term music intervention is insufficient to cause the changes in cerebral functional connectivity. Therefore, long-term music therapy may be required to achieve the deserved effects on brain functional connectivity.

Remarkable Agreement

Although there is agreement within professional and legal communities that the least restrictive alternative should be used when restraining upset psychiatric patients, there is disagreement as to what constitutes the least restrictive alternative. Forty patients and 38 staff who had either much or little direct experience with restraint techniques were asked their opinions about various aspects of the appropriateness and restrictiveness of nine different techniques or combinations of techniques for managing upset patients in each of four different hypothetical situations. The results revealed remarkable agreement about the relative intrusiveness of the techniques. The implications for the management of disturbed patients are discussed.
