Sažetak

The connection of musical sounds and the brain functions is a major
challenge of modern neuroscience. It has long been proven that music has a psychological effect on human beings, including induction and modification of cognitive states,moods and emotion. Brain activity,metabolismand blood flow are closely linked. Cognitive activation leads to metabolic changes in specific cortical centres. Consequently, any change in cognitive cortical activity reflects in blood flow velocity. This is especially important in patients recovering from stroke. At present stroke is a frequent, serious, and hindering
global health-care problem, and rehabilitation is amajor part of patient care. Thus any improvement in blood flowthrough the brain during rehabilitation period is amajor contribution in stroke recovery. The recent studies show that rehabilitation in well coordinated multidisciplinary stroke units proved to be more successful in the recovery of stroke patients. One of the possible attributing
factors to the improvement of stroke rehabilitation could be incorporation of music listening in the therapy. Furthermore the studies show that music stimulation increases blood flow in patients suffering from acute ischemic stroke enhancing the post-stroke recovery and can therefore be a helpful tool in neurorehabilitation.
