In the right doses, it can double as a mild antidepressant, painkiller, sleeping pill, memory aid—and enhance athletic performance while supporting healthy aging. Though music has been used as a healing strategy since ancient times, neuroscientists have only recently discovered how melody and rhythm stimulate core memory, motor, and emotion centers in the brain. But here’s the catch: We can tune into music every day and still miss out on some of its potent effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdriana Barton learned the hard way. Starting at age five, she studied the cello for nearly two decades, a pursuit that left her with physical injuries and emotional scars. In \u003cem\u003eWired for Music\u003c\/em\u003e, she sets out to discover what music is really for, combing through medical studies, discoveries by pioneering neuroscientists, and research from biology and anthropology. Traveling from state-of-the-art science labs to a remote village in Zimbabwe, her investigation gets to the heart of music’s profound effects on the human body and brain. Blending science and story, \u003cem\u003eWired for Music\u003c\/em\u003e shows how our species’ age-old connection to melody and rhythm is wired inside us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdriana Barton was a staff reporter at \u003cem\u003eThe Globe and Mail\u003c\/em\u003e and has contributed to \u003cem\u003eUtne\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eAzure\u003c\/em\u003e, and the \u003cem\u003eSan Francisco Bay Guardian\u003c\/em\u003e.
