Music Benefits Brain-injured Patients at Crotched Mountain

By Dianne Finch on Monday, March 24, 2008.

Scientists have known for some time that music stimulates the brain.

Studies suggest music can help people battle depression, recover memory and become more focused.

Researchers are also looking at the possibility that playing or listening to music can help the brain heal itself.

Those potential benefits bring hope to patients and therapists alike at the Crotched Mountain Rehabilitation Center.
