This music will be eternal …
Many have already heard and know that music can act as a natural "medicine" for a person and improve his health, and, what is important, music is different. But how does it work?… Researchers at the University of Luxembourg found that music stimulates the regions of the brain responsible for memory, language and motor functions. And this knowledge can be very useful in practice.
It turns out that music is a universal language of moods, emotions and passions. It produces a bewitching effect well known to all of us with the help of a number of neural systems.
In the course of experimental "music therapy", it was possible to achieve a noticeable improvement in general well-being, pain and internal tension in patients. These studies involved elderly people, among whom were dependent on outside help and independent, with and without dementia. The sessions were conducted both group and individual.
The researchers concluded that music has a stimulating effect on emotional memory, evoking old memories and rejuvenating a person's sense of self.
The study found that music can be invaluable in preventing the development of Alzheimer's disease and senile dementia. It has been shown to be effective in the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders. However, the very mechanisms of the effect of music on the brain are still poorly understood, despite the fact that scientists have recently become more interested in this topic.
During recent studies, it turned out that music has an effect on the cranial nerves of people from the embryo to old age. Scientists have suggested that the development, renewal and repair of the cranial cell occurs through the release of steroid hormones, which ultimately leads to an increase in brain plasticity.
Music affects the production of steroids such as cortisone, testosterone and estrogen and affects the receptor genes associated with them. And, unlike drugs with similar properties, music is safe and has no side effects.

Scientists have studied the effect of music on the formation of neurotrophin proteins in the brain. They played slow rhythm music to the mice for 21 days in a row. At the end of this period, an increase in the hippocampal neurotrophic factor was observed in the brains of mice. In addition, it turned out that music significantly increased the ability of mice to learn. As a result of this experiment, scientists concluded that music can help treat several pathologies associated with the nervous system.
The famous opera singer Luciano Pavarotti once said: "If children were not taught to listen to music from an early age, then they were thereby deprived of something fundamentally important in life." Music influences mood, concentration, creativity and learning ability.
Neural connections in the brains of infants and young children are formed through experience and strengthened through repetition until some predictable response is established to a particular stimulus or phenomenon. But when such a bond is formed, it is already very difficult to break it.
Music is very important for brain development as it helps create and strengthen these neutron connections on which sound processing depends.
