| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We tested the hypothesis that performing a rhythmic physical task accompanied by a cognitive task, such as multitask movement music therapy (MMT) involving repetitive rhythmic movements with a musical instrument (the Naruko clapper), may improve pre-frontal cortex (PFC) function and cognitive performance. We assessed the effects of MMT on frontal lobe blood flow and activation in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and compared the effects of MMT with that of a non-rhythmic exercise routine that lacked accompanying music or the Naruko clapper (single-task training [STT]). Before and after the 12-week exercise program, we observed significant improvements in Frontal Assessment Battery scores in the MMT group but not in the STT group. Cerebral blood flow in the PFC during the exercise was significantly increased in the MMT group compared with the STT group. Furthermore, the cerebral blood flow increase was significantly correlated among various channels in the MMT group.
