Why Do We Sing To Our Babies?
In 1981, Professors David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for their pioneering work on the neuroscience of visual processing. This Nobel Prize was the culmination of decades of work that began in the 1950s, when Dr. Hubel first used a tungsten wire (an electrode) to record electrical activity from a single neuron. Next, in the 1960s Hubel and Wiesel collaborated to show that specific neurons were activated by vision from one or the other eye. In these experiments, neuron activities of a kitten’s brain were measured while the kitten was shown various visual [...]
