Sihvonen A, Pitkaniemi A, Siponkoski S, Kuusela L, Martinez-Molina N, Laitinen S, et al.
eNeuro . 2024 Apr; 11(5). PMID: 38688718
Singing-based treatments of aphasia can improve language outcomes, but the neural benefits of group-based singing in aphasia are unknown. Here, we set out to determine the structural neuroplasticity changes underpinning...

Siponkoski S, Pitkaniemi A, Laitinen S, Sarkamo E, Pentikainen E, Eloranta H, et al.
Brain Commun . 2023 Jan; 5(1):fcac337. PMID: 36687394
The ability to produce words through singing can be preserved in severe aphasia, but the benefits of group-based singing rehabilitation in aphasia are largely unknown. Our aim was to determine...

Sihvonen A, Siponkoski S, Martinez-Molina N, Laitinen S, Holma M, Ahlfors M, et al.
J Clin Med . 2022 Apr; 11(8). PMID: 35456277
Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common and devastating neurological condition, associated often with poor functional outcome and deficits in executive function. Due to the neuropathology of TBI, neuroimaging...

Martinez-Molina N, Siponkoski S, Pitkaniemi A, Moisseinen N, Kuusela L, Pekkola J, et al.
Brain Commun . 2022 Feb; 4(1):fcac001. PMID: 35174327
A classical observation in neurology is that aphasic stroke patients with impairments in speech production can nonetheless sing the same utterances. This preserved ability suggests a distinctive neural architecture for...

Martinez-Molina N, Siponkoski S, Kuusela L, Laitinen S, Holma M, Ahlfors M, et al.
Neural Plast . 2021 Mar; 2021:6682471. PMID: 33763126
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is characterized by a complex pattern of abnormalities in resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) and network dysfunction, which can potentially be ameliorated by rehabilitation. In our previous...

Siponkoski S, Koskinen S, Laitinen S, Holma M, Ahlfors M, Jordan-Kilkki P, et al.
Neuropsychol Rehabil . 2021 Mar; 32(7):1356-1388. PMID: 33657970
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) causes deficits in executive function (EF), as well as problems in behavioural and emotional self-regulation. Neurological music therapy may aid these aspects of recovery. We performed...

Sihvonen A, Leo V, Ripolles P, Lehtovaara T, Ylonen A, Rajanaro P, et al.
Ann Clin Transl Neurol . 2020 Oct; 7(11):2272-2287. PMID: 33022148
Objective: Previous studies suggest that daily music listening can aid stroke recovery, but little is known about the stimulus-dependent and neural mechanisms driving this effect. Building on neuroimaging evidence that...

Siponkoski S, Martinez-Molina N, Kuusela L, Laitinen S, Holma M, Ahlfors M, et al.
J Neurotrauma . 2019 Oct; 37(4):618-634. PMID: 31642408
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) causes lifelong cognitive deficits, particularly impairments of executive functioning (EF). Musical training and music-based rehabilitation have been shown to enhance cognitive functioning and neuroplasticity, but the...

J Alzheimers Dis . 2015 Nov; 49(3):767-81. PMID: 26519435
Recent evidence suggests that music-based interventions can be beneficial in maintaining cognitive, emotional, and social functioning in persons with dementia (PWDs). Our aim was to determine how clinical, demographic, and...
