Playing a Musical Instrument is Good for the Brain
Playing a musical instrument is good for the brain. The new technology that allows science to see what's going on in the brain is fascinating.
Now we have another good reason to play our guitars If the link above throws an error, try the link URL below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0JKCYZ8hng&t=1s

"Use it or lose it" has been known to apply to the brain for quite a while but those "new" techniques do indeed make it easy to illustrate brain function for a wider audience.
(I say "new" because they started to become widely used in research about 20 years ago already.) An older one that uses a bit more grown-up ideom (I have a memory of being mesmerised -biologised- by it at the Paris Cité des Sciences back in early '97):

I started playing 2.5 years ago for two reasons; PT for my left hand that had been sliced wide open in Dupetrens Contracture surgery and to exercise my 66 year old brain.
It's been a lot of fun and it must be working...................now if I could just remember why! |

If our local open mic is any indication, it's too late for some people...

From there one can easily expect that only listening will also trigger those same brain regions as watching as listening does, but evidently your brain won't know what regions to activate if you haven't first allowed it to train doing the real thing. Wait ... where was I going with this?
