       Ask the doctors: The connection between music and memory
       Dec 10, 2025
       SUMMARY:
       "a healing practice that, while making headlines today, dates

       psychiatric hospitals in the early 1800s as one of the earliest
       formal uses of it to improve mental and emotional health....
       In exploring the effects of music on cognition, researchers have
       found some surprises...
       music may have a protective effect on cognition. This includes
       the study you asked about from researchers in Australia who
       specialize in neuropsychiatry and dementia. They analyzed a
       decade of data collected from 10,800 healthy adults in their
       70s. They found that people who reported listening to music
       almost every day lowered their risk of dementia by nearly 40%.
       The protective effect also extended to general cognitive
       decline. When assessed separately, the music group outperformed
       the nonmusic group on cognitive function and memory tests..."

       Can music be good for our brain and heart?
       12 January 2026
       New research shows engaging with music is linked to better
       cognitive function and a reduced risk of dementia and heart
       disease in later life.
