Listening to music regularly is linked to a lower risk of dementia

 

Regular exposure to music engages multiple brain networks at once, including memory, attention, language, and emotion, helping keep neural pathways active over time. Long term studies have found that people who listen to or engage with music frequently show a significantly lower risk of developing dementia. Researchers link this effect to improved cognitive stimulation, reduced stress hormones like cortisol, and stronger emotional memory recall. Even passive listening appears sufficient to activate these protective processes.
