“…Few approved pharmacologic agents for patients with MCI are available, and it is thus worthwhile to investigate the effectiveness of nonpharmacological treatments [7] such as exercise training, cognitive intervention, and music therapy. These can play important roles in not only managing behavioral and psychological symptoms but also improving the cognitive function of individuals with MCI or dementia [8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

Introduction: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is considered an important period for interventions to prevent progression to dementia. Nonpharmacological interventions for MCI include exercise training, cognitive intervention, and music therapy. These play an important role in improving cognitive function, but their effects on brain plasticity in individuals with MCI are largely unknown. We investigated the effects of a multicomponent day-care program provided by the University of Tsukuba Hospital on the longitudinal brain volume changes in MCI patients. Methods: MCI patients who participated in the multicomponent day-care program and underwent whole-brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) twice during their participation (n = 14), were included. We divided them into two groups according to their attendance rate and conducted a between-group analysis of longitudinal volume changes in the whole cerebral cortex. Regional brain volumes derived from the patients’ MRI were calculated with Freesurfer 6.0.0. Results: The neuroimaging analysis demonstrated that the left rostral anterior cingulate cortex volume was significantly preserved in the high-attendance group compared to that of the low-attendance group. Conclusion: Our results suggest that continuous participation in a multicomponent day-care program could help prevent a volume reduction in memory-related brain areas in patients with MCI.

“…Music-based interventions (MBIs), such as receptive MBI (i.e., interventions that involve listening to music), have become increasingly of interest for improving well-being across the lifespan (Cheever et al, 2018; Global Council on Brain Health, 2020). Despite the growing inclusion of MBIs into healthcare protocols, meta-analyses suggest that they often produce variable and inconsistent effects on clinical and health-related outcomes (Mammarella et al, 2007; Sousa et al, 2020; van der Steen et al, 2018; Vasionytė & Madison, 2013; Vink & Hanser, 2018). Such variability in the efficacy of music-based interventions may arise, in part, from the diversity of protocols that underlie MBIs (e.g., self-selected vs. clinician-selected music), the heterogeneity of clinical populations that are targeted by MBIs, and individual differences in the sensitivity to musical features that constitute the intervention (e.g., rhythm, melody, motor-movement, and social interactions during musical experiences) (Loui, 2020; Sousa et al, 2020; Vink & Hanser, 2018).…”

Neural entrainment to musical rhythm is thought to underlie the perception and production of music. In aging populations, the strength of neural entrainment to rhythm has been found to be attenuated, particularly during attentive listening to auditory streams. However, previous studies on neural entrainment to rhythm and aging have often employed artificial auditory rhythms or limited pieces of recorded, naturalistic music, failing to account for the diversity of rhythmic structures found in natural music. As part of larger project assessing a novel music-based intervention for healthy aging, we investigated neural entrainment to musical rhythms in the electroencephalogram (EEG) while participants listened to self-selected musical recordings across a sample of younger and older adults. We specifically measured neural entrainment to the level of musical pulse - quantified here as the phase-locking value (PLV) - after normalizing the PLVs to detected pulse frequencies of each recording. As predicted, we observed strong neural phase-locking to musical pulse, and to the sub-harmonic and harmonic levels of musical meter. Overall, PLVs were not significantly different between older and younger adults. This preserved neural entrainment to musical pulse and rhythm could support the design of music-based interventions that aim to modulate endogenous brain activity via self-selected music for healthy cognitive aging.

“…Music therapy has been defined as the use of sounds and music within an evolving patient–therapist relationship to support and develop physical, mental, and social spiritual well-being [ 1 ]. Music has cognitive, psychosocial, behavioral, and motor benefits for people with neurological disorders such as dementia or Parkinson’s disease (PD) [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]. The profound value that music brings to human health and well-being provides a framework for the development of non-pharmaceutical treatments for neurological disorders [ 7 ].…”

Parkinson’s disease can be approached from various points of view, one of which is music therapy—a complementary therapy to a pharmacological one. This work aims to compile the scientific evidence published in the last five years (2015–2020) on the effects of music therapy in patients with Parkinson’s disease. A systematic review has been performed using the Web of Science and Scopus databases with the descriptors “music therapy” and “Parkinson’s disease”. A total of 281 eligible articles were identified, which, after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, were reduced to 58 papers. The results display a great diversity of evidence, confirming positive effects on various spheres. All mentioned patients with Parkinson’s disease had experienced different music therapy programs. Some studies focused on the motor component, which can be addressed through listening, body rhythm, and rhythmic auditory stimulation. Other studies confirm effects on communication, swallowing, breathing, and the emotional aspect through programs that focus on singing, either individually or in groups, in order to improve the quality of life of people with PD. It was concluded that music therapy programs can achieve improvements in various areas of patients with Parkinson’s.
