When music is playing, it triggers the brain’s pleasure centers. This releases dopamine, an essential neurotransmitter that gives you a happy feeling. A quick and automatic response, the brain even anticipates the parts of a familiar song that bring the most pleasure and gives you an anticipatory dopamine rush.
Scientists have further discovered that when people listen to music, they produce more immunity-boosting antibodies as well as cells that protect against invasion by bacteria. It’s even possible that music can assist to alleviate problems and symptoms associated with premature birth, Parkinson’s disease and depression.
Moreover, when an individual learns how to play an instrument, scientists believe that the training actually increases brain matter volume in key parts of the brain. It is an effect that is akin to what happens when you start working out regularly. Soon, your muscle tone and mass may begin to increase.
Thanks to an increased volume of gray matter, many musicians typically experience enhanced auditory processing, memory and learning abilities.
