Music also lights up nearly all of the brain — including the hippocampus and amygdala, which activate emotional responses to music through memory; the limbic system, which governs pleasure, motivation, and reward; and the body’s motor system.

2020年10月7日 · A recent survey on music and brain health conducted by AARP revealed some interesting findings about the impact of music on cognitive and emotional well-being: Music listeners had higher scores for mental well-being and slightly reduced levels of anxiety and depression compared to people overall.

2020年11月1日 · Researchers are investigating how music may enhance brain development and academic performance and even help people recover from COVID-19.

The primary goal of this literature review is to provide an insight into how music is decoded by the nervous system and its impacts on brain function, as well as how it can unlock various brain states, engage different brain circuits, and induce the release of neuromodulators.

Brain areas activated during music listening. Auditory cortices from temporal lobe and limbic system areas are the most frequently implicated brain regions in music processing, as well as other eloquent areas depicted in the table.

2022年12月15日 · Music "fundamentally affects the release of neurochemicals in the brain, increasing the release of serotonin and dopamine and reducing the effects of cortisol," Vyas-Lee said.

“Music and the Brain” explores how music impacts brain function and human behavior, including by reducing stress, pain and symptoms of depression as well as improving cognitive and motor skills, spatial-temporal learning and neurogenesis, which is the brain’s ability to produce neurons.
