SEX & DRUGS & ROCK'N'ROLL (LITERALMENTE)
















"Scientists have found that the pleasurable experience of listening to music releases dopamine, a neurotransmitter in the brain important for more tangible pleasures associated with rewards such as food, drugs and sex. The new study from The Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital – The Neuro at McGill University also reveals that even the anticipation of pleasurable music induces dopamine release [as is the case with food, drug, and sex cues]" (aqui)

"It is amazing that we can release dopamine in anticipation of something abstract, complex and not concrete. (...) This is the first study to show that dopamine can be released in response to an aesthetic stimulus". (aqui)
