Neuroscience and Biobehavioural Reviews

Highlights

  • Molecular mechanisms by which music influences neuroplasticity remain unexplored.
  • We synthesized research on music-induced molecular neuroplasticity in humans.
  • Music-based interventions and musical training promoted neuroplastic changes.
  • Modulations were found in gene expression, neurotrophins, and neuroendocrine activity.
Music and Society

Kan muziek maatschappelijke spanningen verhelpen? 'Het is de lijn die ons samenhoudt'

Muziek kan je vrolijk, droevig of zelfs opgelucht laten voelen, dat is bekend. Maar hoe zit dat collectief? Kan muziek ons als samenleving in deze moeilijke tijden bij elkaar krijgen en zorgen voor die zo nodige verbinding? Volgens neuromusicoloog Artur Jaschke is dat het geval. Hij doet bij Spraakmakers een bijzondere oproep.

MTI in HONG KONG

This project studies the impact of Generative AI on research culture across a broad spectrum of disciplines. The research group consists of scholars from cultural studies, English, translation, communication, law, mathematics, and computer science. 

NEW PUBLICATION IN JAMA PAEDIATRICS

There is an increasing body of neonatal research on administering highly complex auditory stimuli (ie, music) to (extremely) preterm-born neonates (23-28 weeks’ gestation).

New Publication in Brain Communications

Human musicality might have co-evolved with social cognition abilities, but common neuroanatomical substrates remain largely unclear.

Study protocol of a randomized control trial on the effectiveness of improvisational music therapy for autistic children

Music therapy is the clinical use of musical interventions to improve mental and physical health across multiple domains, including social communication.
