Music reward sensitivity is associated with greater information transfer capacity within dorsal and motor white matter networks in musicians

Author(s): Matthews TE; Lumaca M; Witek MAG; Penhune VB; Vuust P;

There are pronounced differences in the degree to which individuals experience music-induced pleasure which are linked to variations in structural connectivity between auditory and reward areas. However, previous studies exploring the link between white matter structure and music reward sensitivity (MRS) have relied on standard diffusion tensor imaging me ...

Context changes judgments of liking and predictability for melodies

Author(s): Albury AW; Bianco R; Gold BP; Penhune VB;

Predictability plays an important role in the experience of musical pleasure. By leveraging expectations, music induces pleasure through tension and surprise. However, musical predictions draw on both prior knowledge and immediate context. Similarly, musical pleasure, which has been shown to depend on predictability, may also vary relative to the individu ...

Dopamine dysregulation in Parkinson's disease flattens the pleasurable urge to move to musical rhythms

Author(s): Pando-Naude V; Matthews TE; Højlund A; Jakobsen S; Østergaard K; Johnsen E; Garza-Villarreal EA; Witek MAG; Penhune V; Vuust P;

The pleasurable urge to move to music (PLUMM) activates motor and reward areas of the brain and is thought to be driven by predictive processes. Dopamine in motor and limbic networks is implicated in beat-based timing and music-induced pleasure, suggesting a central role of basal ganglia (BG) dop ...

Using cortico-cerebellar structural patterns to classify early- and late-trained musicians

Author(s): Shenker JJ; Steele CJ; Zatorre RJ; Penhune VB;

A body of current evidence suggests that there is a sensitive period for musical training: people who begin training before the age of seven show better performance on tests of musical skill, and also show differences in brain structure-especially in motor cortical and cerebellar regions-compared with those who start later. We used support vector machine ...

Background Music and Memory in Mild Cognitive Impairment: The Role of Interindividual Differences

Author(s): Calabria M; Ciongoli F; Grunden N; Ordás C; García-Sánchez C;

Background: Recent research has shown that background music may improve memory consolidation and retrieval. Nevertheless, in the clinical conditions preceding dementia such as mild cognitive impairment (MCI), there is no current evidence speaking to what effect background music during memory tasks has on impaired cognition.
O ...

Group Telehealth Music Therapy With Caregivers: A Qualitative Inquiry

Author(s): Brault A; Vaillancourt G;

Informal caregivers of older adults are faced with increased responsibilities as health and social systems fail to respond to the rising demands associated with the aging populations. For many caregivers, the COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted their access to already sparse supportive resources, highlighting the importance of varying service delivery ...

Early musical training shapes cortico-cerebellar structural covariation

Author(s): Shenker JJ; Steele CJ; Chakravarty MM; Zatorre RJ; Penhune VB;

Adult abilities in complex cognitive domains such as music appear to depend critically on the age at which training or experience begins, and relevant experience has greater long-term effects during periods of peak maturational change. Previous work has shown that early trained musicians (ET; < age 7) out-perform later-trained musicians (LT; > age 7 ...

Understanding Sensitive Period Effects in Musical Training

Author(s): Virginia B Penhune

Adult ability in complex cognitive domains, including music, is commonly thought of as the product of gene-environment interactions, where genetic predispositions influence and are modulated by experience, resulting in the final phenotypic expression. Recently, however, the important contribution of maturation to gene-environment interactions has become b ...

What you learn &amp; when you learn it: Impact of early bilingual &amp; music experience on the structural characteristics of auditory-motor pathways

Author(s): Vaquero L; Rousseau PN; Vozian D; Klein D; Penhune V;

Music and language engage the dorsal auditory pathway, linked by the arcuate fasciculus (AF). Sustained practice in these activities can modify brain structure, depending on length of experience but also age of onset (AoO). To study the impact of early experience on brain structure we manually dissected the AF in bilinguals with and without music training ...
