To get your body in shape, you go to the gym. What should
you do for your brain? Play an instrument!
A study published in Nature Reviews Neuroscience pulled together
data from around the world studying the effect of music on the brain. They
found that musical training, or any interaction with music—including listening,
improved the brain’s ability to handle communication. The research review
showed that children with musical training have better-than-average vocabulary
and reading ability. Musical adults had more “neuroplasticity,” aiding their
brains’ long-term ability to adapt and change.
