For over a century it’s been known that people unable to speak after an injury to the brain’s speech centers were still able to sing. Now, a clinical trial out of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center at Harvard Medical School indicates that melodic intonation therapy, a type of singing therapy, can help patients relearn how to speak. MRI scans given to a set of identical twins, one of whom had a stroke, suggest that melodic intonation therapy remolds the brain.
