Can music offer the key to treating dementia?

Interesting.

I was listening to a radio interview a little while ago and it was talking about how the sounds and sights of childhood or youth, and in particular music from their younger days can really soothe and help dementia sufferers.

Used to be that you'd try and bring them back to the present - these days it's more about meeting them at whatever point they're at.
