The Impact Different Music Genres Play on the Behavioral Response of ASD-induced Drosophila Melanogaster

Novelty

Common music therapy uses classical music as the auditory stimuli, but there are few studies that have used different genres of music (Pauwels et al., 2014). The combination of using model organism experimentation, music therapy exploration, and a focus on ASD is also rarely seen in behavioral sciences. Unlike previous studies that focus on the use of classical music in music therapy, this study analyzes the effects of different music genres on the behaviors of ASD-modeled Drosophila.
