Lobes
This section of your brain works cooperatively with many other brain areas, giving you a wide range of abilities
What is the frontal lobe?
This cortex helps with attention, emotions, self-control and decision-making. It usually doesn't fully develop until your mid-20s
What is the prefrontal cortex?
Music engages this part of the brain
What is THE WHOLE BRAIN?
This neurological technique is used to facilitate the rehabilitation, development, and maintenance of movements that are intrinsically biologically rhythmical (primarily referring to gait)
What is Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (RAS)?
The loss of cognitive functioning to such an extent that it interferes with a person's daily life and activities
What is dementia?
This lobe processes your sense of touch and assembles input from your other senses into a form you can use, helping you understand the relation to other things that your senses are picking up around you
What is the parietal lobe?
This cortex plans and executes voluntary movements by working with other brain areas and the spinal cord. It expands across both sides of the brain, and controls muscles on the opposite sides of the body.
What is the primary motor cortex?
This hormone decreases when engaging with music
What is cortisol?
This therapy technique uses melodic and rhythmic elements of singing phrases and words to assist in language recovery for patients with aphasia
What is Melodic Intonation Therapy (MIT)?
An injury to the brain that is caused by an outside force - can be penetrating or non-penetrating
What is a TBI?
This lobe is a pair of areas on your brain’s left and right sides, which are inside your skull near your temples and ears, playing a role in managing your emotions, processing information from your senses, storing and retrieving memories, and understanding language
What is the temporal lobe?
This cortex plays a crucial role in various complex cognitive processes including thought, perception, language, memory, attention, consciousness, and advanced motor functions
What is the cerebral cortex?
These hormones are increased when engaging with music
What are dopamine and serotonin?
This technique uses the rhythmic, melodic, harmonic, and dynamic-acoustical elements of music to provide temporal, spatial, and force cues for movements that reflect functional movements of daily life activities, or the fundamental motor patterns underlying these activities
What is Pattern Sensory Enhancement (PSE)?
A sudden burst of electrical activity in the brain that can cause changes in behavior, movements, feelings and levels of consciousness
What is a seizure?
This area processes visual signals and works cooperatively with many other brain areas. It plays a crucial role in language and reading, storing memories, recognizing familiar places and faces, and much more
What is the occipital lobe?
This part of your brain processes information from your body’s senses. It also helps with proprioception.
What is the somatosensory cortex?
Background music can enhance these key elements, processed in the prefrontal cortex
What are memory retention and concentration?
This technique provides structured active or receptive musical exercises involving precomposed performance or improvisation in which musical elements cue different musical responses to practice attention functions
What is Musical Attention Control Training (MACT)?
A medical emergency that happens when something prevents your brain from getting enough blood flow
This part of your brain that helps coordinate and regulate a wide range of functions and processes in both your brain and body
What is the cerebellum?
This cortex, located in the occipital lobe, is the brain’s initial processing center for visual information, extracting fundamental features like orientation, edges, and spatial location to form the basis for conscious vision
What is the primary visual cortex?
These neural pathways become more efficient when engaging with music
What are white matter pathways?
This technique uses active and receptive music-based interventions to facilitate and improve psychosocial functioning by addressing therapeutic needs surrounding mood control, affect expression, cognitive coherence, reality orientation, and appropriate social interaction
What is Music Psychosocial Training and Counseling (MPC)?
A disease that causes breakdown of the protective covering of nerves, causing numbness, weakness, trouble walking, vision changes and other symptoms
What is Multiple Sclerosis (MS)?
