The instrument most significantly linked to better cognitive health was the piano.

Players of woodwinds and brass also exhibited higher cognitive scores, though not as high as pianists. The study found no association between cognition and playing percussion, bowed instruments, and guitar.


I’m not surprised about the piano, but I’m surprised guitar didn’t have more impact.. although they should clarify whether they studied classical or folk style guitar players, since I would guess that would make a diference.

Well, managing two clefs, two staves and independent hands has got to be good for the ol' brain.
