"Further research is, however, needed in this area: it is anticipated that attendance at a number of national and international concert venues would resolve this issue, and the researchers are currently seeking funding for this." 😄

As you might guess from the title, although this article presents data, it is tongue-in-cheek. E.g. the authors suggest sax players should declare themselves bandleaders to reduce their mortality.

If you are the kind of listener who "actively listens" to music (the way musicians often do), that is probably better too. E.g. "Did you hear how Lee Sklar baseline enhanced Carol King right there?"

Research generally shows that staying mentally active in many spheres is good for cognitive health and longevity, so music listening should be good. However, it is better to be actively engaged in an activity rather than a passive recipient.

Functional network connectivity (FNC) between the default mode (DMN), sensory-motor (SMN), visual (VSN), and auditory (AUN) networks. Musicians FNC values increased with age in DMN-AUN, DMN-VSN, and SMN-VSN and in controls FNC values decreased with age in DMN-AUN, DMN-SMN, AUN-SMN, and SMN-VSN.

A Melody Naming Test was administered to patients with LTP damage, brain damaged comparison (BDC) patients, and normal comparison participants (NC). LTP patients named significantly fewer melodies than BDC and NC participants.

"...while the lesions affecting the left hemisphere reveal new artistic dimensions, disinhibit the right hemisphere, work is more spontaneous and emotional with the gain of artistic quality."

"Results of numerous studies showed that listening to music can improve cognition, motor skills and recovery after brain injury. In the field of visual art, brain lesion can lead to the visuospatial neglect, loss of details and significant impairment of artistic work..."

Exactly. We are wired to see these patterns

There has been a resurgence of research on the use of LSD in psychotherapy, which was a hot topic in the 1960s. This study examines the possible brain mechanisms that may make such therapy effective.

This system is also important for empathy and is deficient in sociopaths.

Mirror neurons (MNs) were first described in 1992 in
monkeys' premotor cells discharging during both action execution and observation of actions by others. A more widely distributed system is now thought to be crucial to "mirroring" others in motor learning and social interactions.

As this study shows, there is also something special about music and memory that may make it resilient in AD.

encode complex musical sequences (e.g. guitar chords, drum rudiments) to the subcortical system (basal ganglia, cerebellum). Such sequences can run semi-automatically, leaving the cortex free to modulate other aspects of music. So I could play paradiddles while lecturing on the motor system 😉

There are two motor systems that work in tandem in most circumstances. However, the pyramidal (cortical) system controls conscious, deliberate movements; the extrapyramidal (subcortical) system controls posture, motor tone, and over learned motor sequences. I think that with practice, musicians...

This may explain why some patients have preserved musical abilities in AD. Also, my believe is that many musical skills are encoded subcortically, especially in musicians.

Thanks I will check it out.

9. To improvise, you need to “let go” of frontal evaluative functions.
10. Musicians had significantly better visuospatial abilities vs non-musicians.
11. Playing an instrument reduces cognitive decline with aging.

6. Music evokes the same brain systems as other emotionally evocative stimuli (e.g. faces).
7. Music anhedonics have reduced response in the reward centers of the brain.
8. When experiencing "flow," music and athletic performers feel at and perform at their best.

3. Music therapy works better if the pts participate actively.
4. People with dementia sometimes retain amazing amounts of musical abilities, suggesting these brain systems are somewhat distinct (e.g. subcortical).
5. Music therapy can help reduce seizures.

6. Not surprisingly, music evokes the same brain systems as other emotionally evocative stimuli (e.g. faces).
7. Music anhedonics (who do not appreciate the emotional input) have reduced response in the reward centers of the brain.

Yes, agreed. I doubt the effect is limited to one composition by Mozart, but that is what was used in many studies and it has stuck.
