Music

"In brain scans, music lights up the medial prefrontal cortex and triggers a memory that starts playing in your mind." Jodi Picoult

Although the above quote is from a book of fiction, it is accurate.  Music does improve memory.  In a class I took from a neuropsychologist, he said that music "lines up the neurons in the brain."  Music is something we can add to our repertoire as caregivers for someone with dementia.  I recently order some music created in collaboration with Ekhart Tolle which is designed to help calm the mind.  Whatever your taste in music, it is one more good tool to use in our support of someone with dementia.
