Researchers at the University of Tokyo played Mozart, Queen and Lady Gaga's hit 'Born This Way' to rats.TOKYO - Nodding along to catchy music is not just a human habit, according to Japanese scientists who have discovered that rats also move to the beat of songs by stars like Lady Gaga.
"Rats' brains are designed to respond well to music," even though their bodies move only a little, said associate professor Hirokazu Takahashi, part of the team who conducted the study. For rats, the"bopping" effect was most pronounced for music in the range of 120-140 beats per minute -- the same as humans.
The research mainly focused on Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major, K.448, played at four different tempos.
