As we grow older, we may forget things we once knew. However, according to a new study, the music we have listened to may stay with us forever.

The study was led by Sarah Sauve, a music scientist at the University of Lincoln in the UK. She found around 120 healthy adults aged from 18 to 86 and asked them to listen to three parts of music taken from musical pieces to be performed at a concert. They then attended the concert and made notes whenever they heard those parts playing.

The results showed that everyone, no matter how old they were, recognized the music parts equally well. Scientists believe that this is because music turns on the amygdala (杏仁体).
