Why does a beat feel in our bones? And can music actually change the brain? In Moving and Grooving: Music and the Brain, neuroscientist Prof. Jessica Grahn takes us inside the science of one of humanity’s most universal behaviors: making and listening to music.She'll explore what happens in the brain from infancy through older adulthood, and why even babies can sometimes keep rhythm better than grown-ups (yes, really).You’ll learn how music weaves together motor control, emotion, memory, and social connection — and whether musical training can literally reshape our brain’s structure.Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience and evolutionary theories, Grahn dives into big questions:Can rhythm help patients with brain damage or Parkinson’s regain movement?Does music make us “smarter”?And why did music evolve at all??
