the global service as a whole lot of climate problems. if it turns out on the topic of price of those channels, we've got new videos every friday tried to plan. it's a the babies born prematurely that's been weeks on neo natal words are exposed to a lot of hospitals, stimuli during a time when they should ideally have been protected in the blue dress factors linked to being born too soon can have serious consequences. one research team is looking at whether music can help mitigate the risk that topic and much more this week on dw science. you welcome to tomorrow. today

that today should have been born 3 weeks from today. the blood, his mother a shot a new job done, gave birth to him over 2 months ago. had told her his brain didn't have sufficient time to mature. he missed out on vital weeks and the bloom. that's the reason many premature babies end up with developmental disorders. some of them cause lifelong issues. pediatrician and research are paid to hook b is trying to do something about it. with music. coincides the middle of the day of holding. we came up with the idea because premature babies have a daily rhythm that's determined by machines. meaningful in the name and you can that be spring. we thought we had to give them something that they could hold onto based at the face, hey, that's something that comes regularly. don't try something with a personal connection to them. so we, that's when we had the idea that we could do that with music. i mean,

most think ma, actually make like guess as to what key symptoms time for us to raise wake up music. he has a different piece to fall asleep to as well as one for his waking hours. in this study, the team led by the research are looked at what happens in the brain when premature babies and neo natal logy wards associated music with events like waking up or falling asleep them and it's d all worked well. well. well, mostly babies who have listened to music regularly show a clear maturation of these blue and orange networks. lee fake these are the networks that are otherwise less or under developed in premature babies in the cliff team. so some neural connections and the brains of these premies grew more sophisticated due to the music and the daily structure they associated with it in the music was created by end to this folder. and by the while composing as

much as possible, he tried to put himself in the shoes of a premature in front seat and stay strategic. see the scene that's into the 1st goal was to relax the children boat was to dissolve the blockades. they had built up through this process are being told into the world and on clone for suicide, trying to develop a sound from over time. i've switched from human voices when you have a high extract of the sounds that were the most serial. the ones that go on for a long time, disco, david, only sound that develops constant like knew that like a cloud is east, i'm digging into the cliff. does it mean of a loser? are these close ceiling every month? it is full of i just seen the mistake discussions was on the list for the invite. always took a very long time because we spoke different languages. i kept trying to bring everything down to a scientific evaluation thing a on dad had the phone that he didn't think that what happens in the brain was all

that important. jimmy got tubs of the she thought that the main thing was that the babies ended up feeling better. do space, sit on the hot, but i told him that i actually wanted to know what happens boss, and how it affects wellbeing. yes, the small to lemme well then you just don't go on that day and then it became about stimulating the children after relaxation, scared, in other words, to give themselves the wake them up really that aroused their curiosity to wonder what is that some where does it come from something like a bell ringing. for example, let's see, shared with you, but i'm thinking the surprise on when he listens to murder. good suit. he's got you . now let me play at a level well, what you say is when i was in geneva for the 1st time and this was the instrument, they reacted to most economic hits a snake charmers fluid from india. it's hard to play and so you have to practice

long and hard to make nice sounds, but i'll give it a shot. the. the babies relaxing music and science. the study became something of a global sensation, a photographer from national geographic showed up in geneva. the results fascinated everyone. don't see it. so for me being able to prove this scientifically with this project was a fantastic experience. pretty big. is it these from thoughts digikey for me? now to the is one of the children who were exposed regularly to until he is full invite as music, whether the experience also strengthens neural networks and infants at the later development stages is currently under investigation. the parents of the children

are thankful for the musical experiment. so lisa, i told him, was that the bustle? yep. there was a way for me to give her an activity. when you have your baby at home, you can play with all their limits to what you can do at the neo natal logy station . but i had the feeling that nancy la got something from the music and that's through it. i was doing my job as a mother. so some of us you, hey, i've been, i'm put you on the phantom club. i the memo, it's the sure the long conversations between the scientist and the musician paid off in the end. let's see what happens in our brains when we listen to music. that's the kind of question being explored in the field of neuroscience. another is how to develop human

machine interfaces and devices that can be controlled by thought. in that area, a researcher at one of your largest university hospitals is trying to break new ground. he collects fountain pens from all over the world in a small way. the hobby acts as a kind of analog counter way to his research, which is a lot less tangible. so you still cannot spend most of his time studying the around 86000000000 neurons that make up an incredibly complex organ the human brain. and he's been doing so since his university days back in the 1990s. despite the the cognitive skills and that was the decade of the brain, there was a lot of hype about all the imaging techniques at the time and what could be explored. i found it incredibly fascinating that we could practically watch the

brain. think the who owns. i'm going to cook them, couldn't today the research or does just that. with technology that's grown, much more advanced at the chevy tay university hospital and research clinic and berlin, who develops high tech for the brain. for people with paralysis, for example, like you to show it's using electrodes. the doctor 1st establishes a connection between the patient's brain and the computer the electro and stuff. the la graphic illustrates how active the different connected areas of the patient's brain are today. it's important data for developing machine supported therapies. so your circuit cause the process calibration justin page that has also benefited from his research, which has led to a better understanding of processes in the brain and that's helped her get her life

back on track. she's suffered from depression for almost 30 years. mostly is just flushed in. um you have to imagine that you feel home inside nowadays might have you have no strength at all when you can concentrate on the this as soon as you, it's not like you always have a jumble. looks on some more like there's nothing. wow. wow. and every little task feels almost insurmountable. just getting dress store, cleaning yourself up, sometimes takes the whole day. just to show much montague, this can come for years. houston boost took antidepressants that cause severe side effects. she tried many different treatments and repeatedly suffered severe relapses. then she heard about a technique, so you a circuit or has explored it's called repetitive trans cranial magnetic stimulation

. this into somebody who's, i mean we know for example that and people with depression, people who have depressive symptoms. the left frontal brain is not activated as strongly as it is under normal circumstances. and with this method, we can specifically modulate the activity in the left frontal brain, that kind of re orients this area, creating a situation where new connections can also occur. or changes in brain dynamics. in the whom do not make code developed by the research or the therapy was approved in 2018 treatment is painless and has just one side effect. a noticeable improvement in the patient's state of mind. the device is used in the mask that are constantly being refined and the institutes own workshop. the aim is to tailor them even better to specific new ronel dysfunction in individual patients in the future . so good are wants to use magnetic stimulation to plum even deeper limbeck regions

beyond the frontal brain takito showed so the special ed, so skeleton for his hand was produced as part of his treatment, a godsend for the patient. after brain tumors, surgery, he was no longer able to move his left arm on my back, then nothing happened. i'd wait for it, but not even a twitch will find this. it's soaked a just 30 or 40 years ago with the expert consensus was the deadline or of sales were irretrievably lost. we now know that other neurons can take over their functions. the brain is incredibly flexible. circuit says it's surprising how many everyday tasks require to hands and how much not being able to use a lamb can restrict autonomy. but with

a little more than the power of his thoughts, the electrodes attached to his body and a machine that converts those thoughts into commands for the exoskeleton shorts. it has now regained some of his motor skills will do that explicitly. and then with his exoskeleton, i suddenly thought i want to close that ended close to a few weeks. so i was flooded with happiness hormones and thought, hey, there's still time i can get my life back on me. that's what would come and see if there's we can develop as much technology as we want. yeah. but ultimately it has to help individuals and their everyday lives. so you know, so good our works towards that goal every day. probing the depths and possibilities of the human brain. we're minds about science and technology. that's like dw signs is now on take talk. what do be fun?

why do gravitational ways that that is when did people begin getting high and laughing gas out drums boogie to the beads. and what's the perfect kid football find the on says, gets most c w science on new tick, tock, channel, a sick talk you. the results are also being achieved in cancer research with one method called car to so therapy. the patient's own immune cells are genetically modified to recognize and destroy their cancer. some success stories on on colleges hoping for a revolution. hands down. no, it is a living example of how powerful a new form of cancer therapy with so called car t cells can be 2 years ago, he was diagnosed with a malignant lymphoma, the conventional treatments for it had little to no effect on the device. on ben,

it's pretty much certain and you have half a year to a year, and that's it. yeah, this was hard as a last resort, the medical team, it's kind of big university hospital suggested car t cell therapy is a method that's only been available for a few years. the idea behind it is to get t cells to recognize pathogens and cancer cells. the defensive cells have binding sites called adage and receptors, which allow them to recognise and dot com to harmful cells. these can then be destroyed by the immune system. in car t cell therapy patients t cells are genetically modified in the laboratory that causes a new receptor to form on its surface. these car t cells are then multiplied. they're super power, a new receptor which allows them to recognize the cells. so these also play a role in the immune system. the cells can develop into malignant cancer cells. the

car t cells have been specialized or recognized them and render them harmless. hard to self era, these are being researched at germany's national center for tumor diseases and hide about even the experts have been impressed by the success rates the idol twice and often gets the most impressive data has been in the treatment of childhood leukemia, square car, t cell approaches can actually cure 80 percent of children who would otherwise have no other treatment options at all. that's a huge high income success rates and adults are somewhat lower. but even in them with some tumor types around half of all patients have had long lasting effect. still, the treatment can be tough to take. the infusion with altered cells can cause a serious immune reaction. hands bound that was hospitalized for 3 weeks after getting at. the new therapy may also have side effects that aren't yet know,

so it's currently only given to patients who have no other option. still, the approach appears quite promising the cottage and i'm glad i think car 2000 assure it in a new era and on college. and when you talk about self therapies with genetically manipulate itself, so it always sounds a little negative. but in this case, i find it extremely positive. say i'm good. such therapies have been shown to be brutally effective and extremely specific. savings fits the 1st time come. what special is the treatment happens with living cells which remain permanently effective in the blood? however, in germany, car t cell therapy is currently only available for specific types of blood cancer or tumors of the lymph nodes and bone marrow. that's for 50, more minutes and 9. and at the moment it only impacts a small area of oncology. it is a narrow spectrum of diseases that can be treated quite effectively. but in the majority of cancers, the future of car 2 cell therapies is still

a relatively open question. and a lot of people from the end, the therapy is also highly individualized, which means it's expensive. it costs up to $380000.00 euro is per infusion touchscreen notation, off it. good. that sounds like a lot of money, of course. and it is a lot of money. on the other hand, if a therapies with a certain probability on you can lead to permanent disease control after a single dose. and then such sums are justifiable. as soon as also it is opens and they couldn't even turn out to be possibly cheaper than conventional long term drug therapy. you might be to maybe come in to there's a talk for hundreds down at the treatment appears to have paid off 6 months after receiving his car to sell therapy and fusion. there's still no signs of recurrence . he's hopeful that is malignant lymphoma won't come back

let us read why. if you have a special science question, send it to us as a video, text or voice mail. if we answer it on the show, we'll send you a little present as well. thank you. come on, just as this week's viewer question comes from abu ali, a in egypt, why does our hair turn great? actually, gray hairs are not really grey at all. they are white, but layered with surrounding hair of different colors of white hairs can make the hair as a whole appear great. the pigment, melanin is responsible for hair color in humans. that's also the pigment that determines eye and skin color. the melanin in the hair forms in its roots, in particular cells, the melana sides. they produce 2 different chemical types, the pigment, black, brown, you, melanin, and seal melanin,

which is reddish yellow. the amounts and mixture of these 2 compounds determines your hair color. the older you get though, the less melanin semerano sites produce, instead colorless bubbles of oxygen to accumulate in the hair, making it look white. exactly when the 1st white here's appear varies from person to person. most people start to find that between the ages of 30 and 50, but it comes down to your genes. if parents go grey when steel so young, the trait can be passed on to their children. but your hair can't turn gray over night. as some legends claim, the french queen marie antoinette said to have gone great the night before she was be headed in $1793.00. but green is by its nature, a gradual process. once a here grows past the scale,

it no longer changes color. and since even white hair only grows between $1.00 and $1.00 and a half centimeters a month is at least a little time to get used to the new look. the in denmark, many smaller clinic, 6, it was through doors in the last few years. as the countries health care services are being gathered into 16 giant facilities, the idea to centralize expertise and activities to improve quality and efficiency. let's take a look behind the scenes at a danish super hospital. around 150 kilometers from copenhagen, whose university hospital is a huge complex that houses more than 40 medical departments and employees nearly 5 and a half 1000 doctors and nursing staff over

a 1000000 patients are treated here annually. it's a hospital of support. that is the morning meeting and the nerve surgery department begins at 8 o'clock at physician go on for a doing and is given an overview by the award nurse how many beds are occupied, what operations are scheduled? were there any medical emergencies during the night to to then look over the digital patient files, which nurses looking after which patient the digital system makes the doctor's work easier about music. we work a lot with the electronic patient journal systems, and that makes it very easy to plan your own day plan. it also makes it simple to perform tasks like those that can be done remotely remote lose. now that the doctor has been well briefed rounds on the board can begin. first stop is

a patient named pierre. the neurosurgeon operated on the 54 year old yesterday to remove a tumor, a difficult procedure together to, to look at the medical findings and discuss how the surgery went. the brain scans indicate that all is well after the doctor was able to successfully remove the tumor. the patient is scheduled to leave the clinic today, less than 24 hours after the tricky operation. short hospital stays are part of the concept. and of course it's a smooth, i'm guessing when is it fast to have brain surgery and be sent home the next day? yes, maybe you should, but it's safe because the patient is very well prepared. just the entire staff is kept up to date on the patient's condition via a central platform called the blackboard. it contains all patient information. for example, the exact doses of medication for each case are registered here and can be viewed

by everyone involved in treatment. but occupancy and staffing levels are also listed to a certainty the, the information we exchange. it's a meeting involves capacity on the one hand, but it's also clinical data if it does. in other words, just is there a certain patient info that's important for the operation? and for me, we also use it to assign surgical nurses to operating room and off the or what kind of stressed on an item or piece. this is the heart of the clinic and internal tracking and tracing system. more than $3000.00 transponders are installed in the corridors and patient rooms. the box track, the exact location of beds and medical devices. 45000 transmitters are attached to every important piece of hospital equipment. the tracking tool is a huge help for nurses like ashley. right now,

she wants to know where to find the next available, ultra sound machine. but the system can also help her quickly track down a free bed for an urgently needed head doctor. there are mobile very sions on handheld devices for staff who are on the move. the system is unique in a hospital setting. it's a $4500000.00 euro investment that is paid off, helping the clinic save money on stuff without making concessions in care. the ultrasound device, nurse ashley is looking for is located a floor below. one of the masterminds behind the new danish super hospitals. as judge muller pitt is on a professor of health economics at the university of southern denmark and o'denza, his goal was to achieve shorter treatment times while improving the quality of medical treatment in general. if we look at the situation before and after,

i think it's fair to say that after we get better services, higher quality, better educated, the doctors, etc. so essentially from a patient perspective, it is a considerable improvement. the only improvement that there's not included in that is that the distance to the hospital has increased later that morning, head physician, go on the front hunting and has surgery scheduled, and he's surrounded by the best doctors in the country. because people with the most medically demanding health care issues are now treated at the super clinics from brain surgery to heart transplants. specialists from a wide range of fields come together. and of course, there's a team of experts involved in every case that has big benefits for doctors and training, but above all, for danish patients. that
