Study: practicing music for only few years in childhood
helps improve adult brain
A little music training in childhood goes a long way in
improving how the brain functions in adulthood when it comes to listening and
the complex processing of sound, according to a new Northwestern University
study.
The impact of music on the brain has been a hot topic in
science in the past decade. Now Northwestern researchers for the first time
have directly examined what happens after children stop playing a musical
instrument after only a few years -- a common childhood experience.
