Aging is often associated with decline in brain processing power and neural predictive capabilities. To challenge this notion, we used magnetoencephalography (MEG) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to record the whole-brain activity of 39 older adults (over 60 years old) 37 young (aged 18-25 years) during recognition previously memorised varied musical sequences. Results reveal that when recognising sequences, compared reshapes its functional organisation. In fact, it shows increased early sensory regions such as left auditory cortex (100 ms 250 after each note), only moderate decreased (350 ms) medial temporal lobe prefrontal regions. When show a marked reduction fast-scale functionality (250 note) higher-order including hippocampus, ventromedial inferior cortices, while no differences are observed cortex. Accordingly, outperform novel behavioural regards ones. Our findings age-related changes memory processes, integrating existing theories on compensatory mechanisms non-pathological aging.

Evidence on the impact of music-making interventions brain plasticity in older adults is limited. To investigate whether induce neurobiological changes and if such relate to cognitive improvements. A systematic search was conducted Medline, PsycINFO, Scopus. Inclusion criteria targeted randomised controlled trials with (with without mild impairment [MCI]), as exposure, measures primary outcome. Six studies (555 cognitively intact adults) met inclusion criteria-five used piano training, one choral singing. Three had overlapping cohorts, four a high risk bias. One study employed electroencephalography (EEG) measure frontal parietal activity, while five structural MRI assess cortical, subcortical, white matter integrity. Methodological heterogeneity limited comparability. Findings group included increased theta power during an improvisation task, greater grey volume dorsolateral prefrontal cortex cerebellum, slower fibre density decline fornix preserved right auditory hippocampus. Only reported positive correlation between executive functioning No assessed outcomes MCI. neuroplasticity remains inconclusive due studies, bias, methodological variability. While preliminary findings suggest potential interventions, there insufficient evidence draw firm conclusions. High-quality are needed clarify music-making, particularly MCI populations.

This work aimed to objectively (mainly computationally) measure the extent which 68 older adult novices developed specific musical abilities. The participants learned aural and keyboard performance skills in a 12-month online course with an expert piano teacher, spending six months each on digital iPad virtual piano. Within 6 months, 3 were devoted successively of melodic replication improvisation. Teaching sought correctness pitches/sequences (for replication), introduction systematic diversity thereof improvisation). We measured perception using melody detection beat alignment tests; improvisation learning computational measures MIDI-recordings. Bayesian modelling showed that detection, successfully seemingly progressively, while rhythmic precision replication, not our focus, not. These retained over 6-month follow-up period. Improvisation teaching was bigger predictor performance. Potential applications for these findings contexts are discussed.

The acquisition of skills, such as learning to play a musical instrument, involves various phases that make specific demands on the learner. Knowledge cognitive and motor contributions during can be helpful in developing effective targeted interventions for healthy aging. Eighty-six older participants underwent an extensive cognitive, motoric, test battery. Within one session, piano-related music-independent movement sequence were both learned. We tested associations between skill performance cognito-motor abilities with Bayesian mixed models accounting individual rates. Results showed was positively associated all abilities. Learning task characterized by relatively strong initial These then weakened considerably before increasing exponentially from second trial onwards, approaching plateau. Similar performance–ability relationships detected course music-unrelated task. Positive emphasize potential new skills produce positive transfer effects. Consistent high-performance tasks demand maximum effort could very effective. However, should sufficiently long so fully exploited.

Learning to play an instrument at advanced age may help counteract or slow down age-related cognitive decline. However, studies investigating the neural underpinnings of these effects are still scarce. One way investigate brain plasticity is using resting-state functional connectivity (FC). The current study compared learning piano (PP) against participating in music listening/musical culture (MC) lessons on FC 109 healthy older adults. Participants underwent magnetic resonance imaging three time points: baseline, and after 6 12 months interventions. Analyses revealed training-specific changes training. These include increase between right Heschl's gyrus (HG), other dorsal auditory stream regions. In addition, PP showed increased anticorrelation HG posterior cingulate cortex motor hand area a bilateral network predominantly motor-related regions, which positively correlated with fine dexterity improvements. We suggest interpret those results as efficiency for auditory-motor integration. fact that neuroplasticity can be induced by training adults opens new pathways countervail related

Little is known about the simultaneous effects of non-pharmacological interventions (NPI) on healthy older adults' behavior and brain plasticity, as measured by psychometric instruments magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The purpose this scoping review was to compile an extensive list randomized controlled trials published from January 1, 2000, August 31, 2023, NPI for mitigating countervailing age-related physical cognitive decline associated cerebral degeneration in elderly populations with a mean age 55 over. After inventorying that met our criteria, we divided them into six classes: single-domain cognitive, multi-domain aerobic, non-aerobic, combined non-aerobic. ultimate these enhance individual autonomy well-being bolstering functional capacity might transfer activities daily living. insights study can be starting point new research inform social, public health, economic policies.

Abstract Music's role in modulating brain structure, particularly neurodegenerative contexts such as Alzheimer's Disease (AD), has been increasingly recognized. While previous studies have hinted at the potential neuroplastic benefits of musical engagement and training, mechanisms through which music impacts structural connectivity pathways remain under explored. We aimed to examine impact perception skills, active engagement, training on areas relating memory, emotion, learning individuals with worsening memory impairment, investigating effects music. Employing diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) based graph theoretical analysis, we investigated topological features 78 participants aged 42 85 a range impairments. Participants were assessed for skills. The study analyzed regional local network metrics influence activities metrics, while controlling stages objective impairment (SOMI) diagnosis, separately. This elucidate within learning-related varying degrees impairment. found enhanced right hippocampus posterior cingulate cortex was associated stronger clustering coefficient betweenness centrality, increased skills like melody beat perception. Musical specifically impacted node degree mid gyrus. Active influenced eigenvector centrality hippocampus. Furthermore, global efficiency characteristic path length. Our integrates MRI analysis reveal significant key regions. results highlight serve non-invasive modulatory tool cognitive resilience, especially neurodegeneration contexts. These insights contribute understanding delaying AD onset aiding early-stage patients music-based interventions, emphasizing importance maintaining health.
