Background The use of music interventions as a non-pharmacological therapy to improve
cognitive and behavioral symptoms in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients has gained …

Age-related cognitive changes often include difficulties in retrieving memories, particularly
those that rely on personal experiences within their temporal and spatial contexts (ie …

Musical memory is considered to be partly independent from other memory systems. In
Alzheimer's disease and different types of dementia, musical memory is surprisingly robust …

Music interventions have been widely adopted as a potential non-pharmacological therapy
for patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) to treat cognitive and/or behavioral symptoms of …

Functional neuroimaging studies have started unravelling unexpected functional attributes
for the posteromedial portion of the parietal lobe, the precuneus. This cortical area has …

Precuneus responds to a wide range of cognitive processes. Here, we examined how the
patterns of resting state connectivity may define functional subregions in the precuneus …

Research on how the brain processes music is emerging as a rich and stimulating area of
investigation of perception, memory, emotion, and performance. Results emanating from …

Music perception involves complex brain functions underlying acoustic analysis, auditory
memory, auditory scene analysis, and processing of musical syntax and semantics …

The medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) is regarded as a region of the brain that supports self-
referential processes, including the integration of sensory information with self-knowledge …

The present study investigated the functional neuroanatomy of transient mood changes in
response to Western classical music. In a pilot experiment, 53 healthy volunteers (mean …
