Welcome back to my world…
My second post is about the relevance and the importance of the music on brain function.
As we all music’s fans know, music is a therapy!
Music improves brain health and function in many ways. It makes you smarter, happier, and more productive at any age.
Music has played an inseparable part in every human culture and they respond to music in a universal way.
And now, advances in neuroscience enable researchers to measure just how music affects the brain.
The interest in the effects of music on the brain has led to a new branch of research called neuromusicology which explores how the nervous system reacts to music.
And the evidence is in music activates every known part of the brain.
Playing, and even just listening to, music can make you smarter, happier, healthier, and more productive at all stages of life.
Music Boosts Brain Chemicals:
One of the ways music affects mood is by stimulating the formation of certain brain chemicals.
Listening to music increases the neurotransmitter dopamine.
Dopamine is the brain’s “motivation molecule” and an integral part of the pleasure-reward system.
It’s the same brain chemical responsible for the feel-good states obtained from eating chocolate, orgasm, and runner’s high.
When listening to a playlist, you can further increase dopamine by choosing shuffle mode.
When one of your favorite songs unexpectedly comes up, it triggers an extra dopamine boost.
Playing music with others or enjoying live music stimulates the brain hormone oxytocin.
The more you enjoy the music, the better your mental performance.
So, listen to your favorite songs, enjoy, and live the rhythm...!
Just listen to your music, fly above your world, and live the rhythm…!
