“…Another neurotransmitter that responds to music is serotonin. Pleasant music increases the release of serotonin (which is responsible for good mood) in the brain, while unpleasant music reduced the level of serotonin (Evers and Suhr 2000;Kumar et al 1999).…”

Myths about the power of music to regulate and change emotional states are found in each culture. Googling the words ''music and stress'' produces promises for different types of music specially designed to assist managing stress. Music therapists are familiar with using different techniques to reduce stress with different populations. This paper examines both the application of music to stress management and the neurological and physiological mechanisms of stress that can be modulated by music.

“…Gerra and others [80] observed changes in a host of endocrine measures when participants were listening to techno music vs. classical 335 music, whereas Evers and Suhr [81] recorded changes in serotonin levels after exposure to pleasant or unpleasant music, but found no differences in prolactin or ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone). Choir singing has been demonstrated to modify neuroendocrine measures (TNF-alpha, prolactin, cortisol, and oxytocin), although whether these are emotion-related reactions or merely variations in-…”

AbstractThe recent surge of interest towards the paradoxical pleasure produced by sad music has generated a handful of theories and an array of empirical explorations on the topic. However, none of these have attempted to weigh the existing evidence in a systematic fashion. The present work puts forward an integrative framework laid out over three levels of explanation -biological, psycho-social, and cultural -to compare and integrate the existing findings in a meaningful way. First, we review the evidence pertinent to experiences of pleasure associated with sad music from the fields of neuroscience, psychophysiology, and endocrinology. Then, the psychological and interpersonal mechanisms underlying the recognition and induction of sadness in the context of music are combined with putative explanations ranging from social surrogacy and nostalgia to feelings of being moved. Finally, we address the cultural aspects of the paradox -the extent to which it is embedded in the Western notion of music as an aesthetic, contemplative object -by synthesising findings from history, ethnography, and empirical studies. Furthermore, we complement these explanations by considering the particularly significant life meanings that sadness portrayed in art can evoke in some perceivers. Our central claim is that one cannot attribute the enjoyment of sadness fully to any one of these levels, but to a chain * Corresponding author Email address: tuomas.eerola@durham.ac.uk (Tuomas Eerola)Preprint submitted to Physics of Life Reviews November 10, 2017 of functionalities afforded by each level. Each explanatory level has several putative explanations and its own shift towards positive valence, but none of them deliver the full transformation from a highly negative experience to a fully enjoyable experience alone. The current evidence within this framework ranges from weak to non-existent at the biological level, moderate at the psychological level, and suggestive at the cultural level. We propose a series of focussed topics for future investigation that would allow to deconstruct the drivers and constraints of the processes leading to pleasurable music-related sad...

“…La musique aurait donc des effets psychophysiologiques positifs chez les patients déprimés (Lin et al, 2011). L'activité électroencéphalographique (Field et al, 1998), la séroto-nine (Evers et Suhr, 2000) et le facteur neurotrophique dérivé du cerveau (BDNF) dans l'hippocampe (Chikahisa et al, 2006 ;Angelucci et al, 2007), pourraient être impliqués dans les mécanismes biologiques soustendant l'effet thérapeutique de l'écoute musicale dans la dépression.…”

La musique occupe une fonction importante dans la vie des adolescents. Dans cette revue, nous répondrons à deux questions sur les liens entre la musique et le suicide. La première sera de savoir si certaines musiques peuvent favoriser le processus suicidaire (idéations et passage à l'acte) et la deuxième examinera si la musique peut constituer un outil pour diminuer le risque suicidaire. Plusieurs facteurs potentiellement impliqués dans le lien entre les préférences musicales et le processus suicidaire seront développés : l'effet Velten et la procédure musicale d'induction de l'humeur, l'identification et l'apprentissage par imitation, l'influence des médias ainsi que les caractéristiques individuelles. Une approche multifactorielle est nécessaire pour comprendre les liens complexes et bidirectionnels qui unissent les préférences musicales au risque suicidaire.« La bonne musique ne se trompe pas, et va droit au fond de l'âme chercher le chagrin qui nous dévore. » Stendhal (extrait des lettres sur Haydn, de Mozart et de Métastase)
