The right tune can bring the same pleasure as good food or sex.
Canadian scientists have discovered why music can trigger violent emotions.
They claim that the right tune can bring the same pleasure as good food or sex.
A study shows that when listening to music, amounts of dopamine (the hormone of happiness) are released in the brain.
The role of the chemical has been known for a long time, but new data obtained after scanning the brains of people while listening to music shows exactly how this happens.
Dopamine usually helps to feel the pleasure of food or sex. It also causes the euphoria of drugs.
The study used only instrumental music to demonstrate that voices are not necessary to elicit a dopamine response, added the authors of the study, published in Nature Neuroscience.
