Dr. Patrick Porter - Classical Music in Strokes

Listening to classical music could help stroke survivors recover language skills and increase brain connectivity, according to a new study published in the Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine.  Stroke-induced aphasia, a condition that impairs language abilities (e.g. speaking, writing, reading, or understanding), is a significant cause of disability worldwide. Traditional views held that these cognitive deficits were due to localized brain damage. However, recent research highlights the role of disrupted neural networks in the brain.  Led by Maryane Chea, researchers at the Paris Brain Institute in Sorbonne University, France, were intrigued by the potential of music therapy to aid recovery.  Previous studies have shown that music can enhance cognitive functions after a stroke, potentially through enhancement of brain connectivity. Hence, the team aimed to explore whether listening to classical music could improve language abilities and brain connectivity in stroke survivors.

Jennifer Nassour - Meta Biden-Harris

Mark Zuckerberg: 'I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it'.  Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted in a letter on Monday that his company, Facebook, was pressured by the Biden-Harris administration to censor Americans, particularly regarding COVID-19 content.  Zuckerberg made the admission in a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, more than a year after providing the committee with thousands of documents as part of its investigation into content moderation on online platforms.  Along with documents, the Meta CEO said, the company has provided a dozen employees to be available for transcribed interviews, stressing Meta’s cooperation with the investigation.  "There’s a lot of talk right now around how the U.S. government interacts with companies like Meta, and I want to be clear about our position," Zuckerberg wrote. "Our platforms are for everyone – we’re about promoting speech and helping people connect in a safe and secure way. As part of this, we regularly hear from governments around the world and others with various concerns around public discourse and public safety."
