Music has the capacity to engage auditory, cognitive, motor, and emotional functions across cortical and subcortical brain regions and is relatively preserved in aging and dementia. Thus, music is a promising tool in the rehabilitation of aging-related neurological illnesses, such as stroke and Alzheimer disease. As the population ages and the incidence and prevalence of these illnesses rapidly increases, music-based interventions that are enjoyable and effective in the everyday care of the patients are needed. In addition to formal music therapy, musical leisure activities, such as music listening and singing, which patients can do on their own or with a caregiver, are a promising way to support psychological well-being during aging and in neurological rehabilitation. This review article provides an overview of current evidence on the cognitive, emotional, and neural effects of musical leisure activities both during normal aging and in the rehabilitation and care of stroke patients and people with dementia.
音乐具有激活听觉、认知、运动和情感等功能，涉及大脑皮质和皮质下区域，并且在衰老和痴呆中相对保留。因此，音乐是治疗与衰老相关的神经疾病（如中风和阿尔茨海默病）的有前途的工具。随着人口老龄化以及这些疾病的发病率和患病率迅速增加，需要在患者的日常护理中使用既有趣又有效的基于音乐的干预措施。除了正式的音乐疗法外，患者可以自行或在护理人员的帮助下进行的音乐休闲活动，如听音乐和唱歌，也是在衰老和神经康复期间支持心理健康的一种有前途的方式。本文综述了音乐休闲活动对正常衰老以及中风患者和痴呆症患者康复和护理的认知、情感和神经影响的现有证据。
