Neurobiological foundations of music
Music plays a fundamental role in our brain which suggests that music ability is an early developing mental capacity. The brain regions that are activated during music-related activities overlap with those that are dedicated to language functions, in particular singing. This is why it has been argued that both functions develop in parallel or that there is a precursor for both functions which has been labelled as “Musilanguage”. It is possible that this mental ability is hereditary, which would explain the existence of entire families dedicated to music.
