“…In these studies, the effect of each component of music, such as chord progression, has not been dissected. Other studies have revealed that music changes mental function3–6 and a number of those have measured and studied biological indicators, such as ERPs, report that listening to music does result in altered brain activity. Arikan et al reported that listening to well-known music promotes attention and increases the P300 amplitude of ERPs 22.…”

Abstract:A number of studies have indicated that relaxing and pleasant melodies are useful for the treatment of patients with psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia, depression, and dementia. However, few studies have investigated what constitutive elements of the music had an effect on brain activity. As Canon chord progression is one of critical elements for pleasant melodies, we sought to examine the effects of Canon chord progression and pitch-shifted Canon chord progression on brain activity using performance on the auditory oddball task during event-related potentials (ERPs) in 30 healthy subjects. Unexpectedly, we found no differences in ERP components between subjects listening to Canon chord progression (n=15) or pitchshifted Canon chord progression (n=15). Next, we divided participants into two groups: those who found the melody pleasant (n=17) and those who did not (n=13), for both Canon chord progression and pitch-shifted Canon chord progression. The average of P300 amplitude was higher at Fz in subjects found the music pleasant versus those finding it unpleasant. Moreover, subjects who found it pleasant exhibited higher motivation scores than those who felt it was unpleasant, whereas listening to Canon chord progression did not matter. These findings suggest that the effects of Canon chord progression on brain activity and motivation depend on subjective feelings, not the chord progression per se.

“…By using a fiber-based approach, they show that dopaminergic drug effects on striatal BOLD signal varied as a function of FA in a pathway connecting the OFC with the amygdala. There are many studies showing the role of music therapy as an adjunct to addiction therapy as espoused by Ross et al [18]. In an attempt to understanding the mechanisms by which listening to music affects neurological processes, we are struck by the work of Steele et al [19], who found that early trained musicians had greater connectivity in the posterior mid-body/isthmus of the corpus callosum and that the beginning age of training and sensorimotor synchronization performance is linked to FA in this area.…”

Hypothesizing Music Intervention Enhances Brain Functional Connectivity Involving Dopaminergic Recruitment: Common Neuro-correlates to Abusable Drugs

et al. 2016

The goal of this review is to explore the clinical significance of music listening on neuroplasticity and dopaminergic activation by understanding the role of music therapy in addictive behavior treatment. fMRI data has shown that music listening intensely modifies mesolimbic structural changes responsible for reward processing (e.g., nucleus accumbens [NAc]) and may control the emotional stimuli’s effect on autonomic and physiological responses (e.g., hypothalamus). Music listening has been proven to induce the endorphinergic response blocked by naloxone, a common opioid antagonist. NAc opioid transmission is linked to the ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopamine release. There are remarkable commonalities between listening to music and the effect of drugs on mesolimbic dopaminergic activation. It has been found that musical training before the age of 7 results in changes in white-matter connectivity, protecting carriers with low dopaminergic function (DRD2A1 allele, etc.) from poor decision-making, reward dependence, and impulsivity. In this article, we briefly review a few studies on the neurochemical effects of music and propose that these findings are relevant to the positive clinical findings observed in the literature. We hypothesize that music intervention enhances brain white matter plasticity through dopaminergic recruitment and that more research is needed to explore the efficacy of these therapies.

Introduction:The study aimed to explore the impact of the use of music in the everyday life of those dependent on substance abuse. Methods: A psychiatric population (n=190; 111 female; mean age of 37.4±13.3 years) was examined using the IAAM (inventory for the assessment of activation and arousal modulation through music) to measure the situation-dependent everyday life use of music, the SKI (self-concept inventory) for personality dimensions and the GAF score (Global assessment of functioning). Group differences of patients with and without substance abuse were assessed. Results: Substance abuse was identified in 28 patients (14.7%). Patients of this group showed a lower functioning level (p=0.045) and reported they listened more to music for relaxation (p=0.018) and cognitive problem solving (p=0.047), more under the influence of psychotropic drugs (p<0.003) and-after the onset of the mental disorder-more to loud music (p=0.005) than patients without substance abuse (n=162). Discussion and conclusion: Psychiatric patients with substance abuse use music particularly to reduce negative emotions compared to psychiatric patients without substance abuse. This result can be discussed on the basis of the reward system which is influenced by both psychotropic substances as well as by music. The results have a substantial relevant clinical impact and therapeutic conclusions have been drawn. Further studies are warranted.
