Reptile brains respond to music

[Catherine]

The issue was never about reptiles appreciating music. It was about a crocodile brain (therefore a primitive brain) showing a response to  music/complex sound on an MRI. Until more animals of different reptile species are studied it is a bit early to draw any definite conclusions.

I wonder how a turtle brain would respond. I wonder what differences there would be between the land turtles and an aquatic turtle, in particular ocean turtles.

We will have to wait until further studies are done to know the answer.
