"Overall, a 24-h light exposure stress evokes overt cognitive deficits in the inhibitory avoidance test and elevates zebrafish whole-body cortisol levels. However, these effects were reversed by solfeggio-frequency music exposure for 2 or 6 h twice daily, and by continuous 24-h exposure. Collectively, these findings suggest a positive modulation of cognitive and endocrine responses in adult zebrafish by environmental enrichment via the long-term exposure to music, and reinforces zebrafish as a robust, sensitive model organism for neurocognitive and neuroendocrine research."

"In conclusion, OM chanting strongly synchronized cardiorespiratory and blood pressure oscillations. Unexpected oscillations at 0.1 Hz in SBP and RR appear at breathing frequencies of approx. 0.05 Hz. Such frequency doubling may originate from an interaction of breathing frequency with endogenous Mayer waves."
