520    "In this captivating blend of science and memoir, a health
       journalist and former cellist explores music as a source 
       of health, resilience, connection, and joy. Music isn't 
       just background noise or a series of torturous exercises 
       we remember from piano lessons. In the right doses, it can
       double as a mild antidepressant, painkiller, sleeping pill,
       memory aid--and enhance athletic performance while 
       supporting healthy aging. Though music has been used as a 
       healing strategy since ancient times, neuroscientists have
       only recently discovered how melody and rhythm stimulate 
       core memory, motor, and emotion centers in the brain. But 
       here's the catch: We can tune into music every day and 
       still miss out on some of its potent effects. Adriana 
       Barton learned the hard way. Starting at age five, she 
       studied the cello for nearly two decades, a pursuit that 
       left her with physical injuries and emotional scars. In 
       Wired for Music, she sets out to discover what music is 
       really for, combing through medical studies, discoveries 
       by pioneering neuroscientists, and research from biology 
       and anthropology. Traveling from state-of-the-art science 
       labs to a remote village in Zimbabwe, her investigation 
       gets to the heart of music's profound effects on the human
       body and brain. Blending science and story, Wired for 
       Music shows how our species' age-old connection to melody 
       and rhythm is wired inside us."--|cProvided by publisher.
