According to scientists, if adenosine inhibitors are developed, humans can regain their ability to learn quickly by sound like a child.

Learning languages ​​or music is quite easy for children, but as we age, the ability to master these skills will quickly decline.

However, all may change in the near future, because scientists have found a chemical in the brain that slows the learning process. The researchers found that the restriction of important substances in mouse brains helped prolong the ability to learn through their sounds when they were old.

The research team said that if a drug is developed to prevent this chemical, adults can someday regain the ability to master a new language or tool quickly.

The team at St Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, restricted adenosine in the brain region called the thalamus (hippocampus / auditory hill) in adult mice.

Just by inhibiting adenosine, learning language or music is quite easy for adults - (Photo: DM).

They discovered that this preserved the ability to learn effectively from sound like mice at an early age. (Adenosine levels in adult brains are higher than children because when the brain grows, it is also produced.)

Co-author of the study, Dr. Stanislav Zakharenko - a member of St Jude's Department of Development Physiology, said: 'By disrupting the adenozine signal in the auditory hill, we extend the scope of auditory learning. to adulthood and beyond the normal stage (hearing learning) in mice.

These results provide a promising strategy to expand language and music capabilities by restoring toughness in important areas of the brain, possibly by developing drugs that prevent the effect. selectively block adenosine activity '.

Young children grasp the language simply by hearing how it is said and the mouse has the same ability.

Researchers have shown that, as the level of brain adenosine decreases, adult mice exhibit a tone that responds to a stronger sound when it is played weeks or months later. These mature mice also have the ability to distinguish between very close sounds while mice often lack this ability and they maintain such improved tone distinction for several weeks.

Dr. Zakharenko said: "The results show that the 'window' for sound learning can be reopened again."

One of the strategies that researchers use to inhibit adenosine activity is the experimental compound FR194921 , which is able to prevent selection of A1 receptors . If combined with sound contact, the compound will rejuvenate hearing learning in adult mice.

Young children grasp language simply by hearing how it is spoken.

Dr Zakharenko said: "It shows that it is possible to expand the hearing-learning door in humans by targeting A1 receptors for drug development."

This study is not the first to consider how the brain learns music. Previously, a 2014 study found success in playing musical instruments could be due to the fat in your brain. At that time, scientists discovered that an insulator named myelin was necessary to learn new skills.

They claim that when a skill, such as playing the piano, is learned later, thanks to myelin, it will retain the skills.

However, researchers at University College London protested and claimed that when a new skill was learned, it would be retained even after stopping production of myelin.

They found that myelin is produced by the brain and spinal cord at an early stage of maturity because it is necessary for many development processes.
