Study suggests that Valproate allows adults to learn absolute pitch 1

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3848041/ Not exactly a new study but I haven't seen anything about this here. Basically they think Valproate allows adults to learn to identify and recreate a musical note based on the sound alone. Normally this is only able to be learned as a child when that part of the brain is developing.
Seems like musicians would be keen to try this recreationally or as a smart drug if this turns out to be the case.

It's properties art only limited to pitch. What this drug appears to do is to temporarily reset your brain to the extremely plastic state of early development. That critical window where things like learning language, and music is extremely easy in comparison to adulthood. Learn g pitch is actually impossible once you've moved passed it. This drug shows a lot of promise for a wide variety of things.

Subscribed. A close relative of mine takes this for epilepsy. It's a really simple compound, a branched carboxylic acid. Isovaleric acid (from valerian) is similar.

I could have sworn I read that some of the more recent research has indicated that plasticity may continue well into adulthood, contrary to what was previously believed.

hi cosmic
Did you hear that psychedelic-ass band playing in chat earlier? "Thatguy" put some song on by them, I guess 404 introduced him to them. I don't remember the name of the band, but next time you're in chat you should ask one of them about the psychedelic-ass band with the sax that they know of, since you like good music and all. make sure you include the -ass part. i guess one of the members is from the metal band "Between the Buried and Me". IDK, random musical suggestion of the night.
alright, im gonna go to sleep for like 3 hours, bye.

Although this chemical isn't well understood It's also one of the few chemicals that improves levels of GABA. In short, this means it's a golden grail for severe sleeping & anxiety problems. It truely helped me. Sadly, There must be extensive medical followup involving bloodwork I had to cease the medication after only a short period.
Interesting how I was making a lot more music at the time but that's probably unrelated
