Listening to Sounds That are Pleasantly Harmonized as Barrier to Counter Mental Deterioration

Cincinnati Chiropractor weekly health news alert: This article further explains a different relationship between that of music and dementia: Playing a musical instrument can protect the brain later on against dementia-related brain damage.
