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.
