National Institutes of Health deafness and other communication disorders in the National Institute (NIDCD) (NIH) voice, speech, and language functional magnetic resonance imaging branch used by the researchers rappers brain activity when they freestyling "study" - spontaneously improvising lyrics in real time.

Results, on-line Journal of scientific reports published in the November 15 issue, shows that brain activity in the prefrontal cortex, a unique vocal work improving reallocation is associated with this form is a novel neural network improvisatory and creative proposal that includes sexual relations effort.

Researchers, Siyuan Liu, Ph.D., led by the 12 freestyle rap artists (of which at least 5 years experience rapping) scan of the brain while a couple of times a music track using the 8 tasks The performance is demonstrated. Back to work, they just beat the rhyming pattern rythmk songs and improvised guide. In other work, the songs with a good set of exercises performed.

occurred.Freestyling the perisylvian system (involved in language production), amygdala (a region of the brain associated with emotion) increase in brain activity, and motor areas, cingulate, improve brain network has been proposed that encourage the link, language, mode, and action.
