Music engages an extensive network of auditory, cognitive, motor, and emotional processing regions in the brain. Coupled with the fact that the emotional and cognitive impact of music is often well preserved in ageing and dementia, music is a powerful tool in the care and rehabilitation of many ageing-related neurological diseases. In addition to formal music therapy, there has been a growing interest in self- or caregiver-implemented musical leisure activities or hobbies as a widely applicable means to support psychological wellbeing in ageing and in neurological rehabilitation. This article reviews the currently existing evidence on the cognitive, emotional, and neural benefits of musical leisure activities in normal ageing as well as in the rehabilitation and care of two of the most common and ageing-related neurological diseases: stroke and dementia.
音乐激活了大脑中广泛的听觉、认知、运动和情感处理区域网络。再加上音乐的情感和认知影响在衰老和痴呆症中往往能得到很好的保留，音乐成为了许多与衰老相关的神经疾病护理和康复的有力工具。除了正规的音乐疗法外，人们越来越关注自我或护理人员实施的音乐休闲活动或爱好，将其作为支持老年人心理健康和神经康复的一种广泛适用的手段。本文综述了目前关于音乐休闲活动在正常衰老以及两种最常见且与衰老相关的神经疾病（中风和痴呆症）的康复与护理中的认知、情感和神经益处的现有证据。
