Taylor Swift versus Mozart: music preferences of C57BL/6J mice
These findings underscore the importance of species-specific tailoring of music selection towards therapeutic approaches. Our assay can be used to further broaden our understanding of murine music preferences and to analyze how mice respond to and perceive different auditory stimuli. Further studies are needed to systematically investigate murine music perception and preference across genres and exposure durations.
