Playing a musical instrument could help protect against mental decline

Playing a musical instrument could help protect against mental decline through age or illness, according to a new study.

'The research suggests that musical activity could be used as an effective intervention to slow, stop or even reverse age or illness-related decline in mental functioning.'

The study, published in the journal Neuropsychologia, builds on previous work showing the benefits of musical activity on mental and physical well-being.
