Let's open our ears wide today, listening to a founding element of our humanity, essential to our development and our evolution: music! Why and much more than a hobby that makes us feel good, music is essential for our brain and the proper functioning of our neurons? How, from the mother's womb, are we carried by sound? Why throughout our existence and until the end, music plays the game of our neurons going so far as to repair us, give us back the humanity taken away by disease and degeneration?
