Music and memory |
A study in the Journal of Prevention of Alzheimer's Disease explores the effects of music on the brain (PDF, 606 KB, 7 pp). The researchers found that music increases activity in the brain for people with Alzheimer's disease. |
During the study, areas of the brain related to music memory lit up when people listened to music they liked. Though Alzheimer's disease does not typically affect these areas, this activity can help people with Alzheimer's access other memories that are affected. |
Listening to preferred music can help reduce Alzheimer's symptoms like confusion, stress, anxiety, depression, and agitation. Care programs across the United States use personalized music playlists as an element of person-centered care. |
