Listening to the music you love will make your brain release more dopamine, study finds

[Danascot]

“This study shows for the first time a causal role of dopamine in musical pleasure and motivation: enjoying a piece of music, deriving pleasure from it, wanting to listen to it again, being willing to spend money for it, strongly depend on the dopamine released in our synapses”

5. It certainly does this to me.

I would like to see a study of what music you do NOT like does to you. I bet elevator music and types that you can't stand must have some negative effect too. Does it increase your blood pressure? I can't even stand to hear some types on TV commercials...I have to hit "mute" or suffer a stroke.
