Description
Jochum van 't Hooft and co-authors test, in a 2024 study, whether musicality and social cognition share ground in the brain. One dementia type, the behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia, wrecks social thought, while Alzheimer's disease tends to spare it early. If the two skills share a base, their declines should split by type in step. The team drew 73 people from an Amsterdam cohort: 23 with the first type, 22 with Alzheimer's, and 28 healthy controls.
Tests spanned music emotion, rhythm, and pitch, plus skin response while music played. Social tests spanned face emotion recognition, mental state reading, and grasp of social norms. The social-wrecking group did worse on music emotion and rhythm than the Alzheimer's group. Weak music emotion scores tracked weak face emotion scores and weak norm grasp. The authors argue the links back a shared brain base, at least in part.
