strategies for protection against cognitive impairment increasingly important. There is little …

Introduction The relationship between music and Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been
approached by different disciplines, but most of our outstanding comes from neuroscience …

The aim of this study was to explore whether musical practice-related gray matter increases
in brain regions are accompanied by modifications in their resting-state functional …

Intensive training and the acquisition of expertise are known to bring about structural
changes in the brain. Musical training is a particularly interesting model. Previous studies …

Aging is associated with a decline in social understanding and general cognition. Both are
integral to wellbeing and rely on similar brain regions. Thus, as the population ages, there is …

Background Professional musicians are a model population for exploring basic auditory
function, sensorimotor and multisensory integration, and training-induced neuroplasticity …

This contribution describes how music can trigger plastic changes in the brain. We elaborate
on the concept of neuroplasticity by focussing on three major topics: the ontogenetic scale of …

Through this review of 25 clinical and experimental works on long-term musical memories in
Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients, we attempt to clarify the conceptual understanding of …

Studies showed that the top-down control of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) on sensory/motor
cortices changes during cognitive aging. Although music training has demonstrated efficacy …

La musique nous accompagne tout au long de notre existence. Dès la naissance, le bébé
préfère entendre la voix de sa mère chantée que parlée. A l'autre extrémité de la vie, même …
