Magsamen and Ross emphasize that art, in all its forms, impacts neural circuitry, physiology, and behavior, enhancing physical and mental well-being. Art can reduce stress, improve cognitive function, and foster social connections. They highlight the importance of integrating arts in healthcare, education, and community building, citing examples like music therapy for Alzheimer’s and dance for Parkinson’s. Ross mentions that art can lower cortisol levels and improve decision-making.
