As part of Music Therapy Awareness Month, we want to share about the impact of music on the brain. Sugaya reported “Usually in the late stages, Alzheimer’s patients are unresponsive. But once you put in the headphones that play [their favorite] music, their eyes light up. They start moving and sometimes singing. The effect lasts maybe 10 minutes or so even after you turn off the music." Music, especially familiar music, awakens many parts of the brain and can have a wide range of positive effects. The next few days, we will explore a few areas of the brain that "light up" when listening to music. Empowering Care Partners CARE with Compassion, Acceptance, Reliability, and Education.
