Music listening provides one of the most significant abstract rewards for humans because hearing music activates dopaminergic mesolimbic system. Given strong link between reward, dopamine, and memory, we aimed here to investigate hypothesis that dopamine-dependent musical reward can drive memory improvements. Twenty-nine healthy participants both sexes provided ratings unfamiliar excerpts had be remembered following a consolidation period under three separate conditions: after ingestion...

Abstract Studies conducted in rodents indicate a crucial role of the opioid circuit mediating objective hedonic reactions to primary rewards. However, it remains unclear whether transmission is also essential experience pleasure with more abstract rewards, such as music. We addressed this question using double‐blind within‐subject pharmacological design which levels were up‐ and downregulated by administering an agonist (oxycodone) antagonist (naltrexone), respectively, before healthy...

Abstract Interindividual differences in music‐related reward have been characterized as involving five main facets: musical seeking, emotion evocation, mood regulation, social reward, and sensory‐motor. An interesting concept related to how humans decode music a rewarding experience is transcendence or absorption (i.e., music‐driven states of complete immersion, including momentary loss self‐consciousness even time‐space disorientation). Here, we investigated the relation between previously...

Abstract Music listening is one of the most pleasurable activities in our life. As a rewarding stimulus, pleasant music could induce long-term memory improvements for items encoded close temporal proximity. In present study, we behaviourally investigated (1) whether musical pleasure and hedonia enhance verbal episodic memory, (2) such enhancement takes place even when stimulus not during encoding. Participants (N = 100) were asked to encode words presented different auditory contexts (highly...

Anhedonia, characterized by diminished motivation and pleasure sensitivity, is increasingly recognized as prevalent among patients with chronic pain. Deep Endometriosis (DE), the most severe endophenotype of disease, commonly presented pelvic This cross-sectional study reports, for first time, prevalence anhedonia in a sample comprised 212 premenopausal women suspected DE referred to tertiary hospital. Our findings show that 27,8% [95% CI 22.1, 26.5] experience abnormal hedonic tone....

Background Music is a primary source of pleasure for humans. Nevertheless, there large interindividual variability in how individuals experience and derive from music music-related activities. With this study we propose validate the Italian version extended Barcelona Reward Questionnaire (eBMRQ), most in-depth comprehensive tool investigating diverse characterization individual sensitivity to music. In addition, aim investigate eBMRQ scores as function age, gender, musicianship across...

Forkhead box (Fox) genes belong to the "winged helix" transcription factor superfamily. The function of some Fox is well known, such as role foxO in controlling metabolism and longevity foxA differentiation endodermal tissues. However, factors not yet characterized. Such case FoxK genes, which are mainly studied mammals have been implicated diverse processes including cell proliferation, tissue carcinogenesis. Planarians free-living flatworms, whose importance biomedical research lies their...

Abstract Previously, we provided causal evidence for a dopamine-dependent effect of intrinsic reward on memory during self-regulated learning (Ripollés et al., 2016; Ripollés 2018). Here, further investigated the link between and by focusing one most iconic abstract rewards in humans: music. Twenty-nine healthy participants listened to unfamiliar excerpts—which had be remembered following consolidation period—after intake dopaminergic antagonist, precursor, placebo across three separated...

We investigated whether semantic context effects in speech production and comprehension are sensitive to language dominance they involve domain-general executive control. indexed these using blocking within the cyclical paradigm (corresponding poorer performance semantically related contexts compared unrelated contexts) a study that addressed limitations of previous research: (i) we between participants tested their native those were clearly less proficient (not just dominant language), (ii)...

La investigacion y comparacion de como utilizan las estructuras anatomicas respiratorias durante la interpretacion, los profesionales trompa lo hacen alumnos, servira para determinar en que facetas direccion se debe mejorar el proceso ensenanza-aprendizaje trompa. Para ello, seleccionaron 2 muestras diferentes-estudiantes profesionales- realizo un estudio parametros anatomicos consideraron oportunos (apertura bucal, faringe, laringe, volumenes pulmonares musculatura respiratoria) mediante...

Relationship between Sound Quality and Lip Muscle Density in French Horn Players Miguel Armengot Carceller, Melchor Flores de la Torre, Gustavo Juan Samper, Gemma Guillem Cardona, Gregorio Jiménez Payá, J. José Llimerà Dus Abstract Much has been discussed among wind players about whether a sound whose timbre is considered good / valid related to the degree of muscle strengthening lips. Assuming that best an increased number lip fibers, this study directly addresses claim, for two tests were...
