The intrauterine environment offers many rhythmic stimulations to the fetus, both auditory and vestibular. The fetus also produces numerous endogenous and motor rhythms. At birth, the newborn is able, under certain conditions, to synchronize its own rhythms with the rhythmic stimulations of its environment. Can this synchronization, which is the basis of interactions and future communication, take place when the environmental conditions are not optimal? The numerous rhythmic stimulations offered to the fetus are no longer offered to the preterm infant. We will focus on studies proposing rhythmic stimulations in a neonatal unit and their effects on the child in its immediate environment.
