Editor's Notes
introduction
Thalamus: receives sensory and limbic information and sends to cerebral cortexHypothalamus: monitors certain activities and controls body’s internal clockLimbic system: controls emotions and instinctive behavior (includes the hippocampus and parts of the cortex)Brain Stem – connects the spinal cord with the brainrelays and receives messages to and from muscles, skin, and other organscontrols automatic functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing

According to the American Music Therapy Association, “Music Therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program.”Simply put, we use music to make your life better. Whether you need help socially, cognitively, physically, emotionally, or developmentally, music can help you get better…and music therapists are well-trained on how to do that.What’s more interesting, though, is why it works. When used properly, music can be an incredibly powerful treatment tool. And not just because it’s fun, relaxing, and motivating, but because music has a profound impact on our brains and our bodies

The National Institute on Aging(NIA )is launching a new research partnership, called the Neuroimaging and Biomarkers of AD Initiative, to study how the brain changes in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and AD. Using MRIs conducted at regular intervals, researchers hope to learn precisely when and where in the brain problems occur. Researchers will also examine blood samples to check for higher levels of abnormal substances that could be considered “biomarkers” of AD.
