There is an emerging interest in using music as a non-invasive non-pharmacological therapy for various mental disorders. The study of music and medicine is a rapidly growing field which had been largely focused on the use of music as a complementary therapy. Despite its evident universality and high social value, the ultimate biological role of music and its connection to brain disorders is poorly understood.
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia and cognition impairment that interferes with the daily life. AD has no cure, but treatments are available to reduce the symptoms. Accumulating evidence reveals a connecting link between the impaired insulin signalling and AD. Alterations in insulin signalling remains to be a crucial factor that alters the glucose metabolism impacting the bioenergetics of the cell leading to mitochondrial dysfunction, Aβ accumulation, tau hyperphosphorylation, deviations in glycosylation, impairment of glutamatergic neurotransmission...
Background: Parkinson’s disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. The symptoms are treated with medication, physiotherapy, exercise and occupational therapy. The effect of Whole Body Vibration (WBV) as an alternative training method has already been investigated for several symptoms in Parkinson’s patients. Since the effect on the balance does not seem to be clear, the effectiveness of different application frequencies should be tested in this pilot study...
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive and irreversible neurodegenerative disease that affects millions of people globally. Presently, AD is considered a serious health concern, a social and economic burden. There is still no medically accepted cure for AD. Current therapeutics that are marketed for AD treatment only attenuate the symptoms and have several side effects...
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) represents the most known and widespread neurodegenerative disorder. Every day neurologists diagnose a new AD case and current estimates suggest that over 46 millions of people live with this dementia worldwide [1]. The AD history started in 1901 when Alois Alzheimer observed a patient named Auguste Deter; a 51-year-old woman with strange behavioral symptoms and memory impairments. The woman showed symptoms as memory loss, confusion, language impairment and unpredictable, agitated, aggressive and paranoid behaviour...
