The potential for classical music to improve intelligence has been known for some time. Research showing a boost in spatial IQ scores after listening to Mozart goes back to the 1990s.

But it’s not only classical music that can positively affect the brain, says neuroscientific researcher Kiminobu Sugaya, whose research reveals benefits of music in cases of both Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.

In one video case study, the eyes of a man with late-stage Alzheimer’s disease suddenly light up as he listens to music from his younger years. Words of deep appreciation simultaneously spring from his mouth: “It gives me the feeling of love, romance. ... You’ve got beautiful music here. Beautiful. Oh, lovely. I feel a band of love.”

The patient was otherwise known to be minimally responsive and heavily depressed.

Corresponding footage from the Parkinson’s disease study shows a man with muscle rigidity initially struggling to walk, and then dancing when rhythmical rock and roll music is played.

The putamen is the brain’s “center for rhythm. ... You can behave, you can walk, you can do things with the rhythm,” says Sugaya.

Parkinson’s disease sufferers lose the ability to create rhythm in the putamen, he adds. The man in the video, however, is using the music’s rhythm, so he doesn’t need to make rhythm in his brain.

How could music be applied to help those with neurodegenerative disease more broadly?

How might specific harmonies, rhythms, and musical arrangements benefit the brain?

In experiments with local community residents, Sugaya saw a 50 percent increase in brain function when specific Mozart music was played.

Sugaya is a professor of medicine at the University of Central Florida College of Medicine and head of neuroscience at the Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences.
