Science has discovered that music produces dopamine in the brain. Dopamine is the neurotransmitter of the sense of pleasure in those neural areas where pleasure sensations are elaborated. Obviously, only our favorite music can produce this kind of effect.
The discovery has been made by the Valorie Salimpoor team from the McGill University of Montreal and has been published in "Nature Neuroscience". The experts have proved that, while we listen to our favorite music, our heartbeats get modified, so as the breathing frequency and the body temperature. It has also been demonstrated that we just need to know that we are going to listen to our favorite song, to unleash all the pleasure reactions inside our brain.
So, set your favorite CD, play your favorite song, enjoy it!
