Cognitive brain benefits of dance practice
Keywords:
dance, brain, cognitive functions, neuropsychology, psychology.Abstract
Human beings are social beings and we have behaviors that are ritual in nature. Dance is a present element almost in all societies and despite being as old as the human being, the research with respect to it has been given recently. Psychology and neuroscience have approached the subject of dance as a physical exercise, as rehabilitation therapy and describing the neurobiological mechanisms that underlie it. Dance is a cultural element present in all countries of the world, the research done so far indicates that practicing dance can have benefits at the brain level and can be used as support for intervention in different areas of psychology, however it is important to know which are the cognitive processes benefited with dance. The objective is to evaluate with cognitive screening in professional dancers. It was found that some cognitive functions of the dancers are at a high normal level, this is supported by the evidences that indicate the cerebral benefits of the dance and its possible application for intervention in patientsDownloads
