An experimental Alzheimer's treatment involving sounds and flickering lights may slow cognitive decline by ramping up the brain's waste disposal networks. Music therapy is being used to heal and improve mental health in communities, with one Texas woman leading the effort. Additionally, music timed to Parkinson's patients' tremors has shown transformative effects on their wellbeing. Music is also rejuvenating the culture, history, and memories of dementia patients in care homes.
