After my father started getting some serious brain fogginess from old age, I used math to help clear up his thinking (I was his caregiver). It was like physical exercise in that he complained every day and every step of the way...but it worked. After a while, he even started to enjoy it. And his thinking and memory got noticeably sharper.

Yes! Music works too. I know an elderly lady who was worried about oncoming Alzheimer's. Although she had never learned to read music or play an instrument she decided to learn how to play piano. She's very good at it and mentally fit again. Learning is good therapy!

I don’t know what the connection is, but music and mathematics are quite similar.
