BURNABY, B.C. — A researcher at British Columbia's Simon Fraser University says the brains of older adults feel a sense of reward when listening to music, even if it's a song they don't particularly like.
BURNABY, B.C. — A researcher at British Columbia's Simon Fraser University says the brains of older adults feel a sense of reward when listening to music, even if it's a song they don't particularly like.
The research published in the journal Network Neuroscience featured 80 participants, including university students in their 20s as well as people as old as 90, who took functional MRI scans while listening to music they chose as well as some picked by the researchers. She says having a baseline for how a healthy brain responds to music will allow researchers to spot changes in those with Alzheimer's and potentially improve therapies.
