Music has cognitive, psychosocial, behavioral and motor benefits for people with neurological disorders such as dementia, stroke, Parkinson's disease (PD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Here we discuss seven properties or 'capacities' of music that interact with brain function and contribute to its therapeutic value. Specifically, in its various forms, music can be engaging, emotional, physical, personal, social and persuasive, and it promotes synchronization of movement. We propose the Therapeutic Music Capacities Model (TMCM), which links individual properties of music to therapeutic mechanisms, leading to cognitive, psychosocial, behavioral and motor benefits. We review evidence that these capacities have reliable benefits for people with dementia, stroke, PD and ASD when employed separately or in combination. The model accounts for the profound value that music affords human health and well-being and provides a framework for the development of non-pharmaceutical treatments for neurological disorders.

音乐为什么可以治疗神经系统疾病？治疗音乐能力模型。

音乐对患有神经失调症的人（例如痴呆症，中风，帕金森氏病（PD）和自闭症谱系障碍（ASD））具有认知，社会心理，行为和运动益处。在这里，我们讨论音乐的七个属性或“容量”，它们与脑功能相互作用并有助于其治疗价值。具体地说，音乐可以以各种形式吸引人，情感，身体，个人，社交和说服力，并促进运动的同步。我们提出了治疗性音乐能力模型（TMCM），该模型将音乐的各个属性与治疗机制联系在一起，从而带来认知，社会心理，行为和运动方面的益处。我们审查的证据表明，单独或组合使用这些功能对痴呆症，中风，PD和ASD患者具有可靠的益处。
