Singing Helps 'Rewire' Brain

Researchers have presented their findings to the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) that demonstrate how singing can help stroke patients recover their powers of speech. This article also has one of the best new euphemisms that I've seen in a long while - the ongoing trial has shown how the brain responds to melodic intonation therapy! A fascinating piece of work which will hopefully help many people in the years to come (and possibly me as well!)!
