Playing a musical instrument can be used as a therapy for enhancing brain's cognitive abilities, reveals a new study.
It is a known fact that musicians have structurally and functionally different brains compared with non-musicians and areas of the brain used to process music are larger or more active in musicians.
Music Equips the Brain To Identify Sounds Better
Listening to music can significantly enhance human brain's ability to distinguish between various sounds, say researchers.

Lead researcher Lutz Jancke, a member of Faculty of 1000 Medicine, proposes using music in neuropsychological therapy, for example to improve language skills, memory, or mood.
While writing in Faculty of 1000 Biology Reports, Jancke said that brain regions involved in music processing are also required for other tasks, such as memory or language skills.
Origin Of 'Innate' Music Features in the Brain's Neural Mechanism Revealed
Scientists have revealed neural mechanism of 'innate' music features in non-human primates-a finding that could shed light on the origins of music in the brain.

Several studies indeed show that musical practice increases memory and language skills, and Jancke suggests expanding this field.
