How the gift of music can soothe heart and head<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

The grand piano in Ann Biggs\u2019 living room was never just furniture. It was a centerpiece.<\/p>\n

For nearly half a century, \u201cMorning Has Broken\u201d drifted through the house \u2014 the song her husband, Glenn Biggs, loved most, and the soundtrack of a life they built together. Glenn Biggs was a San Antonio banker, civic leader and philanthropist whose vision helped shape how Texas advances brain health today.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was his favorite song,\u201d said Ann Biggs, 92. \u201cIt was always the first thing he wanted me to play. I still wake up at night and hear it in my mind, even now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Today, the Biggs\u2019 piano \u2014 a gleaming Chickering grand \u2014 sits inside the\u00a0UT Health San Antonio Center for Brain Health<\/a>, a $100 million facility that opened Dec. 10. It\u2019s a place where science, patient care, music and community share the same space.<\/p>\n

Glenn Biggs died of Alzheimer\u2019s in 2015. When the time felt right, Ann Biggs donated the piano to bring comfort to others.<\/p>\n

\u201cMusic is one of the last things to go,\u201d she said. \u201cI saw it firsthand.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Glenn Biggs was diagnosed with Alzheimer\u2019s, she said, the disease advanced faster than either of them expected. Still, the signs were subtle enough that he could disguise them.<\/p>\n

As the conversations grew shorter and the silences longer, music endured. In his final months at a San Antonio memory-care center, Ann Biggs often sat at the community piano. What happened next surprised her.<\/p>\n

\u201cPatients there who never spoke would sing along with the old hymns,\u201d she said. \u201cThey remembered the words. It was remarkable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scientists now understand what she witnessed. While Alzheimer\u2019s can blur names and faces, the neural pathways that process rhythm and melody often remain intact.<\/p>\n

\u201cMusic activates parts of the brain that connect emotion, memory and movement,\u201d said Sudha Seshadri, MD, founding director of the Glenn Biggs Institute for Alzheimer\u2019s and Neurodegenerative Diseases at UT Health San Antonio<\/a>. \u201cEven when language begins to fade, rhythm finds its way through. A familiar song can bring someone back, not just to a memory, but to themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

A conversation sparks a movement <\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

In 2014, after learning there were few options for comprehensive Alzheimer\u2019s care in South Texas, Glenn Biggs called William L. Henrich, MD, MACP, then president of UT Health San Antonio, and asked to meet.<\/p>\n

A few days later, Ann Biggs drove her husband to the university and waited in the car while the two met. When he returned, he told her, \u201cI think I touched a nerve.\u201d<\/p>\n

That conversation planted the seed for what would become the nationally leading Biggs Institute and, a decade later, the new home for integrated brain-health research, care and teaching at the UT Health San Antonio Center for Brain Health.<\/p>\n

When Henrich died in 2024, the impact of his partnership with Glenn Biggs was already evident across South Texas \u2014 not in plaques but in programs, research and patients whose lives are changing because of them.<\/p>\n

\u201cDr. Henrich believed, as Glenn did, that if something needs to be done, you don\u2019t ask why. You find a way to make it happen,\u201d said Seshadri. \u201cThat spirit continues to guide every discovery and every patient we reach.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carrying a legacy forward <\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Francisco G. Cigarroa, MD, senior executive vice president for health affairs and health system at UT Health San Antonio, said the work ahead reflects not only the promise of science, but the responsibility to the region it serves.<\/p>\n

Texas is home to more than 400,000 people living with Alzheimer\u2019s disease, a number projected to rise by 22% in the next decade. And San Antonio sits at the heart of one of the state\u2019s fastest-growing aging populations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn South Texas, we face some of the highest rates of Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia in the nation, yet we also stand at the forefront of discovery and progress,\u201d Cigarroa said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough the Biggs Institute, the Center for Brain Health and the opportunity to advance research through the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (DPRIT), our mission is clear. We strive to transform groundbreaking research into prevention, scientific understanding into compassionate care, and knowledge into hope for the patients and families we serve.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"
The vision of Glenn and Ann Biggs for comprehensive Alzheimer’s care in South Texas, and their generosity to seed that vision, gave rise to the Glenn Biggs Institute for Alzheimer’s and Neurodegenerative Diseases at UT Health San Antonio.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

DPRIT was approved by Texas voters in November through a state constitutional \u00a0amendment establishing a $3 billion state fund to accelerate research, treatment and prevention of Alzheimer\u2019s disease and related dementias.<\/p>\n

Turning science into hope <\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Under Seshadri\u2019s leadership, the Biggs Institute has become a hub for early-diagnosis research and clinical trials. For her, the Center for Brain Health is more than a milestone. It\u2019s a promise realized.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to find cures, but we also want to find opportunities for people to live their best lives, to keep bringing their unique personality, skill and knowledge,\u201d she said. \u201cThe Center for Brain Health is designed with that same philosophy: that medicine must care for the whole person. Mind. Body. Spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rising at the corner of Floyd Curl and Charles Katz drives, the center brings together specialists in Alzheimer\u2019s, dementia, Parkinson\u2019s disease and stroke. The team includes neurologists, psychiatrists, art and music therapists and researchers working side by side.<\/p>\n

With 91 rooms for exams, testing and treatment, along with 12 infusion chairs, the center\u2019s scientific heart is one of Texas\u2019s first Siemens Magnetom 7-Tesla TerraX scanners, capable of capturing the brain in extraordinary detail.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat MRI lets us see changes we couldn\u2019t detect before,\u201d Seshadri said. \u201cIt means catching the disease earlier, when we can still make a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Center for Brain Health will also be one of a few sites in Texas offering new disease-modifying therapies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThree years ago, the FDA advisory panel voted to approve lecanemab, a new infusion therapy that removes amyloid from the brain, the toxic protein that damages neurons and helps slow the disease,\u201d Seshadri said. \u201cI learned of the approval on Glenn\u2019s birthday. It felt like a gift. We now have more than 120 patients receiving these infusions.\u201d The formal approval followed weeks later, on July 6, 2023.<\/p>\n

The therapy, Seshadri explained, is not a cure but a start. It\u2019s also a way to buy patients and families precious time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe call these medicines disease-modifying, not symptomatic,\u201d she said. \u201cBefore, we could make memory a little better. Now, we can actually change what\u2019s happening in the brain.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Ann Biggs, whose beloved piano now resides in the center\u2019s Ann Biggs Community Room \u2014 its keys waiting for anyone moved to play \u2014 this moment is deeply personal, a reflection of the life and love that music once carried through her home.<\/p>\n

For Seshadri, this generous gift is emblematic of what makes the new center different.<\/p>\n

\u201cI imagine someone getting their infusion while a volunteer plays the piano in the next room. It reminds us that if you can bring out joy in a person, you help keep their brain working longer,\u201d Seshadri said. \u201cMusic and art aren\u2019t extras. They\u2019re medicine in their own way.\u201d<\/p>\n
