Abstract:
This research project aims to explore the relationship between music and memory in Alzheimer’s disease patients. Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive memory loss and cognitive decline. Music has shown promising effects in stimulating memories and emotions in individuals with Alzheimer’s disease. This study seeks to investigate the potential benefits of music-based interventions in improving memory recall and overall well-being in Alzheimer’s patients. By examining the underlying mechanisms and exploring the therapeutic applications of music, this research aims to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on non-pharmacological interventions for Alzheimer’s disease.
