Kaelen, M et al doi: 10.1016/j.euroneuro.2016.03.018. LSD modulates music-induced imagery... Parahippocampal cortex is linked with music-evoked emotion, psychedelics effects, mental imagery. fMRI showed increased PHC-visual cortex functional connectivity during music listening on LSD. #neuroskyence

The curse of neuroanatomy education, Part 2: On the left is my soapdish. On the right is a CT scan of the lateral ventricles of the brain. As Dr. Jeffrey Browndyke points out, this affliction is technically known as pareidolia. 😀 #neuroskyence

Here’s what we’ve learned so far on Neuroscience and Music: 1. Drumming results in plasticity in many brain regions, including cerebellum and cerebral cortex 2. Music therapy can help people with Alzheimer’s, Huntington”s, and autism. See comments for more... #neuroskyence
