Although the evidence is still limited, a growing body of research suggests music may have beneficial effects for diseases such as Parkinson’s.

Figures
- Fig. 1.
Three criteria for determining the region number K. The reconstruction error (A), instability (B), and silhouette coefficient (C) with respect to different region numbers. Yellow dots indicate the local minimums of reconstruction error and instability, and the local maximums of silhouette coefficient.
- Fig. 2.
Discovered regions with different region numbers: K = 2 (A), K = 6 (B), and K = 17 (C), where warmer colors correspond to higher values. In B and C, each small brain represents a region, placed according to the center of its corresponding location on the big brain.
- Fig. 3.
Developmental trajectories of the average CT of each hemisphere (in the top left box) and each discovered region (i.e., component) in the left hemisphere, as well as the region-specific peak ages. The corresponding result of each region in the right hemisphere is shown in SI Appendix, Fig. S4. The y axis stands for CT (1.5 to ∼4.5 mm for all components), and the x axis represents the age in days. Red lines and blue lines represent females and males, respectively. The dashed green curves illustrate the fitted model of the population’s trajectories. The peak point of each fitted curve is signified using a yellow hexagon and an arrow.
