Music touches us alldeeply, in ways that range from the obvious to the inexplicable. It can make us
feel happy, sad, reflective, anxious, thrilled, angry, excited, joyous and/or
relaxed. This much is obvious to us all.
But did you know that
music can also improve your attention span, enhance your memory and help heal
the human body, mind and spirit in ways that medicine cannot?
I recently came across a
fascinating online video that explains the science behind all this. It
describes how music activates certain regions in your brain — nerve pathways
that are involved in movement, planning, attention and memory. (Listening to
music during a math test can improve performance by 40%!) Music releases a chemical
in your brain called dopamine, which improves
your mood and reduces your anxiety, and it can also help in the production of
the stress-reducing hormone cortisol, so it induces
pleasure, joy and motivation. Music also boosts your immune system and can create
positive emotional experiences — it even helps relieve pain. Relaxing music can
lower high blood pressure and can help people suffering from migraines and
chronic headaches; listening to classical music before bedtime can even reduce
sleeping problems.
That’s a lot of power
with just a few notes!
Music also plays an
important role for those with special needs. For example, it helps individuals
with severe brain injuries recall personal memories, and improves math skills
in children with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). Intrigued, I
reached out to my brother Michael for additional insight. (Michael is a trained
social worker, psychotherapist and CEO at West Bergen Mental Healthcare in
Ridgewood, New Jersey.) “Music therapy has an important place in the treatment
of various mental health challenges,” he told me. “Most therapists agree that
treatment methods which include music and art therapy can help clients withADHD, autism and the chronically mentally ill. [It allows them to] express themselves
in non-verbal ways that are important and can be quite effective.”
And if you are a musician
or someone who enjoys playing an instrument, your brain not only fires
symmetrically when you listen to music, the corpus
callosum area (the connective tissue between the left and
right hemispheres) increases in size, allowing for enhanced communications
between your logical and emotional self. Studies also show that musicians have
distinctly recognizable brains that are enlarged in the auditory
cortex, which is the region of the brain responsible for hearing.
Mind-boggling. And who
