“…Importantly, the neurobiological mechanisms supporting responses to pleasurable stimuli are thought to play a crucial role in the regulation of well-being, life satisfaction and ultimately the expression of depression 70,71 . In this vein, music-one of the most rewarding abstract stimuli for human beings 46 -is strongly related to increases in psychophysiological arousal and to enhanced brain activity in core reward-related circuitry within the mesolimbic dopaminergic system [23][24][25][30][31][32][33]72 , especially, in more hedonic subjects 73,74 . Interestingly, the mesolimbic reward circuitry appears altered in individuals with depression, who suffer from anhedonia, reduced motivation and decreased energy level [75][76][77] .…”

“…Indeed, research consistently shows that music is an effective tool for modulating mood, regulating emotions and reducing stress, anxiety and/or depression in both healthy (including adolescents, adults and the elderly) and clinical populations [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] . Finally, accumulating evidence shows that music engages vast brain networks involved in emotion [23][24][25] . Of particular relevance-due to its putative role in positive affect regulation 17,[26][27][28] -is the evidence that music also engages the brain's dopaminergic reward system 25,[29][30][31][32][33] .…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has deeply affected mental health. We assessed which of many leisure activities had positive psychological effects, with particular attention to music, which has been reported anecdotally to be important. Questionnaire data from over a thousand individuals primarily from Italy, Spain, and the USA during spring 2020 show that people picked music most often as the best activity to cope with psychological distress. Hours of engagement in music and food-related activities during the pandemic were associated with decreased depression symptoms. The benefits of music were mediated by individual differences in sensitivity to reward, whereas the positive effects of food-related activities were related to emotion regulation. Our results demonstrate that music is an important means of improving well-being, and suggest that the underlying mechanism is related to reward, consistent with neuroscience findings. Our data have practical significance in pointing to effective strategies to cope with mental health issues.

“…57 It is important to recognise that the effect of music also entails the neurophysiological and psychophysiological levels. [83][84][85][86] Literature indicates that music induces the anxiolytic effect through suppression of the sympathetic nervous system. 87 88 Also, music stimulates the release of endorphins by activating memory and the limbic system, which plays an important role in emotional well-being.…”

ObjectiveSleep disruption occurs frequently in hospitalised patients. Given the potential of music intervention as a non-pharmacological measure to improve sleep quality, we aimed to assess and quantify current literature on the effect of recorded music interventions on sleep quality and quantity in the adult critical care and surgical populations.DesignSystematic review and meta-analysis.Data sourcesEmbase, MEDLINE Ovid, Cochrane Central, Web of Science and Google Scholar.Eligibility criteria for studiesRandomised controlled trials assessing the effect of music on sleep quality in critically ill and surgical patients.MethodsThe electronic databases were systematically searched from 1 January 1981 to 27 January 2020. Data were screened, extracted and appraised by two independent reviewers. Primary outcomes were sleep quality and quantity, assessed with validated tools. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were followed. Random effects meta-analysis was performed, and pooled standardised mean differences (SMDs) with 95% CIs were reported.ResultsFive studies (259 patients) were included in qualitative (risk of bias) and quantitative analysis (meta-analysis). Pooled data showed a significant effect of recorded music on subjective sleep quality in the critical care and surgical population (SMD=1.21 (95% CI 0.50 to 1.91), p<0.01, excluding one non-English study; SMD=0.87 (95% CI 0.45 to 1.29), p<0.01). The SMD of 1.21 corresponded to a 27.1% (95% CI 11.2 to 42.8) increase in subjective sleep quality using validated questionnaires. A significant increase in subjective sleep quantity of 36 min was found in one study. Objective measurements of sleep assessed in one study using polysomnography showed significant increase in deeper sleep stage in the music group.ConclusionsRecorded music showed a significant improvement in subjective sleep quality in some critical care and surgical populations. Therefore, its use may be relevant to improve sleep, but given the moderate potential for bias, further research is needed.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42020167783.

In million years, under the pressure of natural selection, hominins acquired vocal learning, music, language, and intense cooperation, thanks to the efficacy of music in enhancing sociality. Thus, early in human evolution music became part of human life, a relevant activity, which required sophisticated perceptual and motor skills. It contributed to developing cultures and history, social bonding, and from the beginning of life strengthens the mother-baby relation while within the mother’s womb. Music existed in all known human cultures, although it varies in rhythmic and melodic complexity. It is art made of sounds capable of arousing emotions, evokes memories, engages multiple cognitive functions, and promotes attention, concentration, stimulates the imagination, creativity, and harmony of movement. Music and language share the same complex neural network. Music changes the chemistry of the brain activating the reward and prosocial systems, altruism, and allowing its use in therapy. This review explores "what" is music and illustrates the neural circuits that allow the production of music and language and those that transduce the sounds perceived by the ear, localize and archive them, allowing to recall them. Interestingly, songbirds share many commonalities with human music:, common neural pathways that shape vocal learning, and how they make sounds.
