> One of the most fascinating of all medical-research subjects — especially
> to those interested in the arts — has been the relationship of music to
> brain function. Classical-music lovers are really going to like the
> results of recent British and Italian studies that offer one explanation
> for individual preferences for classical versus pop music: The former may
> require more brainpower.
>
> A recent issue of BBC Music Magazine reports the studies of the dementia
> patients of Dr. Raj Persaud of Maudsley Hospital in London, from which
> Persaud concludes that there's a link between musical taste and
> intellectual function. As brainpower diminishes in dementia patients who
> have previously liked classical music, the patients sometimes begin to
> prefer pop music.
