The key to treating dementia? Take two Beatles records and call me in the morning.
Researchers are using the music of the Beatles – and other artists – to determine how listening to music can impact memory in older adults.

They found that music can help open up parts of the brain that get cut off in elderly people – particularly those with dementia.
