The Many Benefits of Music
Emotional
Musical memory is retained longer than other memories, thereby encouraging reminiscence and potentially reduce anxiety as well (Bian et al., 2021)
Cognitive
Music can promote neuroplasticity and enhance brain connectivity while additionally activating memory related areas in the brain such as the hippocampus (Ting et al., 2024)
