The Astonishing Link Between Singing, Aphasia & Brain Repair | Ani Patel

Can music truly transform our brains? Neuroscientist Dr. Ani Patel explores the profound and lasting effects of musical engagement, focusing on its power to heal. Discover the fascinating phenomenon of non-fluent aphasia, a condition where stroke patients lose the ability to speak fluently but can often still sing with remarkable ease. Dr. Patel takes us on a journey from early historical observations to cutting-edge brain imaging, revealing that speech and singing share overlapping neural pathways. This insight led to the development of Melodic Intonation Therapy (MIT), a revolutionary approach that uses song-like speech to help patients recover their voice. Learn how MIT works and see compelling evidence from Dr. Gottfried Schlaug's research showing how this therapy can physically change brain structure, strengthening neural connections in the right hemisphere to compensate for damage in the left. This talk highlights the incredible plasticity of the brain and music's potential as a powerful therapeutic tool.
