Music heals stroke

'Music heals stroke!' sounds interesting rite?Anyway this is true.Affects of music on stroke patients is getting worldwide attention.
The patients who suffers from stroke may be unable to produce meaningful words if their vocal centre is damaged.If these patients are trained to sing,it is found helping them to form a conversation by assigning a simple melody to each letter in the word.The reason behind this is,the centre concerned with singing is located in a different area of the brain.So if the patient's speech area is destroyed,his singing area will be intact.
This finding is an example of how research has made a leap in the welfare of human race.
Medical practitioners are enthusiastic to the new finding and let us hope it will open up new horizons in the treatment of stroke..
