Apoptosis Index of Cerebrum and Cerebellum Neuronal Cells in Rattus Norvegicus Neonates Born from Mother Treated with Mozart, Javanesegamelan, Sundanesegamelan and Balinesegamelan During Gestation.

Background: Newborn Rattus norvegicus expose to Mozart’s music prove lower than those expose to Javanese, Sundanese and Balinese music. Exposure to classical music such as Mozart, Javanese, Sundanese and Balinese gamelan can increase waves of brain activity. Mozart’s music during pregnancy proved to reduce neuronal cell apoptosis. Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze differences in the index of neuronal apoptosis in the cerebrum and the newly born Rattus norvegicus cerebellum between those exposed to Mozart music, Javanese, Sundanese, Balinese and those who were not exposed to music during pregnancy. Method: The female subjects of pregnant Rattus norvegicus were divided into 5 groups randomly each with 5 samples, 1 control group and 4 treatment groups. after the 10th day of pregnancy music was played for 1 hour in a dark soundproof box with a intensity of 65dB. The 19th day of the parent was sacrificed and sectio caesarea was taken, 3 newborn Rattus norvegicus children were taken with the heaviest, moderate and mildest and brain tissue was taken for preparation. Result: The ANNOVA test results showed significant differences between groups with p = 0.01 in the cerebrum and p = 0.000 in the cerebellum. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the apoptosis index of cerebrum neuron cells and the newly born Rattus norvegicus cerebellum exposed to Mozart’s music proved to be lower than those exposed to Javanese, Sundanese and Balinese gamelan music.
