About

Neuroscientists have shown that music recruits nearly every area of the brain, fostering connections across different regions. In this book, we examine the latest imaging studies and discuss the effects of music on emotion, cognition, sensation, and motor function. This includes an examination of the brain's anatomy when listening to or creating music, of music's relationship to learning math and language skills, and of its role in promoting social connections and treating brain disorders and injuries.
