Preservation of episodic musical memory in a pianist with Alzheimer disease
Abstract
Creativity is distinct from other brain activities. Little is known about the neural networks of music perception and musical memory.1 However, there are reports that suggest that they may be subserved by distinct neural networks. This distinction is further explored through studying music perception in all its complexities, including pitch, timbre, rhythm, and harmony. Each of these perceptions may be differentially lateralized and further differentiated among musicians and non-musicians.2 In this clinical report we explore these distinctions in a patient with Alzheimer disease (AD). A right-handed professional pianist with a family history of AD was evaluated for possible dementia. At age 58, she began to develop memory impairment, disorientation, and difficulties in visuospatial and executive functions. A year later she presented with psychotic depression and delusional paranoid ideation. When seen at our clinic, both her Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) …

Several studies reported the efficacy of music to maintain or increase cognitive functions.
“Several studies reported the efficacy of music to treat BPSD (208–213), to enhance communications, relational processes and participation (199, 214–216), and to maintain or increase cognitive functions (217–222).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
