Less effort, better results: how does music act on prefrontal cortex in older adults during verbal encoding? An fNIRS study.

Less effort, better results: how does music act on prefrontal cortex in older adults during verbal encoding? An fNIRS study.

Several neuroimaging studies of cognitive ageing revealed deficits in episodic memory abilities as a result of prefrontal cortex (PFC) limitations. Improving episodic memory performance despite PFC deficits is thus a critical issue in ageing research. Listening to music stimulates cognitive performa...
