ABSTRACT
Music therapy has its roots and has been present in all the human societies from the dawn of the culture. Music sensitivity constitutes an innate characteristic; that they present/display from the baby stage to the greater adults, who are attracted by pleasant sounds and reject the disagreeable ones. Numerous cerebral regions participate in the perception of music and the emotions that this one causes. The brain is readjusted to be able to respond with greater intensity to harmonious musical sounds that to each other harness and modify behavior processes of conduct and related functions such as others, like the motors, cognitive and the sensorial ones.
Music therapy is the science that show helps patients to gain control over their walking patterns after a brain injury, stimulates long and short term memory in patients with Alzheimer disease, and increase self esteem and social interaction in elders Today, we can find music therapy research in many areas such as the effects of music in children with cerebral palsy, autism, adults with psychiatric illnesses, elderly with Alzheimer and Parkinson disease, people with brain injuries, among others. Numerous studies demonstrate the functionality of music therapy in patients with neurological disorders.
The cerebral processing of music feels neurobiologist bases to our knowledge as a feeling of benefit to the senses and support in some altered cognitive processes like the memory, attention and behavior.
