    Development of auditory and spontaneous movement responses to music over the first postnatal year

    Trinh Nguyen, Félix Bigand ... Giacomo Novembre
    Although auditory encoding of music is robust early in infancy, the transformation of this input into movement patterns develops substantially over the first postnatal year, without reaching full maturity.
