SINGING CAN HELP PATIENTS SPEECH

Teaching stroke patients to sing "rewires" their brains, helping them recover their speech, say scientists.

By singing, patients use a different area of the brain from the area involved in speech.

If a person's "speech center" is damaged by a stroke, they can learn to use their "singing center" instead.

Researchers presented these findings at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in San Diego.
