In terms of the brain scans, the musicophilic group showed significantly increased regional grey matter in the left posterior hippocampus (a memory area) compared to the non-musicophilic group. Sacks includes discussions of several different conditions associated with music as well as conditions that are helped by music. Patient age, gender, TIV, and clinical syndromic group were included a covariates of no interest. A man was struck by lightning after making the unfortunate decision to attempt a phone call in a public booth during a storm. Molnar-Szakacs, I., and Heaton, P. (2012). Each part has between six and eight chapters, each of which is in turn dedicated to a particular case study (or several related case studies) that fit the overarching theme of the section. Chicago: University of Chicago Press. by Oliver Sacks. Abnormalities of emotion processing and altered social and appetitive behaviors occur in all FTLD syndromes but are particularly early and salient in bvFTD and SD (Boeve and Geda, 2001; Hailstone et al., 2009; Omar et al., 2010, 2011; Rascovsky et al., 2011). (2006) described the case of a 65 year old woman with typical temporal lobe seizures and a right temporal lobe correlate on EEG who developed selective musicophilia de novo after commencing anticonvulsant treatment with lamotrigine; these authors argued that musicophilia in this case was the result of altered cortico-limbic linkage in the ictal medial temporal lobe. When music and long-term memory interact: effects of musical expertise on functional and structural plasticity in the hippocampus. However, this research does confirm that there is a neural reality to sudden onset music obsession, and that the memory and emotion roots of music are one reason why it becomes so salient for musicophilics. The example goes nowhere. Ed. Based on available evidence from previous single cases studies (Boeve and Geda, 2001; Rohrer et al., 2006; Hailstone et al., 2009) and neuroanatomical evidence in the healthy brain (Blood and Zatorre, 2001), we hypothesized that musicophilia would be linked to increased atrophy focally involving antero-medial temporal lobe structures. 2023 . The authors noted that the network that they found corresponded well with the so-called default network which helps to mediate internally directed thought. Recent advances in molecular biology have greatly furthered our understanding of the brain bases for the development of FTLD: in particular, there is the promise of predicting specific molecular substrates from characteristic clinico-anatomical profiles, due to targeted destruction of specific large-scale brain networks by abnormal molecules (Seeley et al., 2009; Rohrer et al., 2011; Warren et al., 2012). Another person who is not a musician associates color with light, shape, and position. 76, 146157. 4:347. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2013.00347. 29, 467477. Booklist 104, no. Qualitatively, most patients in the musicophilic subgroup spent more time listening to music. Still others have minimal emotional response to music. (2005). All the patients in this study had frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), a term used to describe a range of dementia related diseases where the brain exhibits atrophy, or loss of grey matter. Investigating emotion with music: an fMRI study. The first of many tales within the book Musicophilia contains one of the most compelling patient cases of this condition. They also exhibit a superior level of responsiveness to different artistic manifestations. Sacks first discusses musical seizures, and he mainly writes about someone who had a tumor in his left temporal lobe which caused him to have seizures, during which he heard music. However, the neurobiological role of music and the reasons these organized abstract sounds should hold such appeal for our species remain elusive (Mithen, 2005; Warren, 2008). Areas of greater gray matter atrophy in the musicophilic group also overlapped the salience network previously implicated in social cognition and more specifically understanding of others' mental states, including mental states as represented in music (Seeley et al., 2009; Downey et al., 2012). In this book Sacks employs his familiar engaging and compassionate narrative of neurological patients to explore afflictions and treatments surrounding music. Huron, D. B. The sagittal section is through the left cerebral hemisphere; the coronal section shows the left hemisphere on the left. We perceive its structure. Regarding working with patients who have varying types of dementia, music therapy can have more global effects. Neuroimage 39, 483491. Neuron 73, 10601062. Library Journal 132, no. However, there were no differing effects between live versus recorded music and between structured music therapy groups versus passive listening. Most patients in the non-musicophilic subgroup had no change in their premorbid music listening behavior, however there were several who had lost interest in music or developed an active aversion to music following the onset of cognitive decline. With an introduction by neuroscientist Daniel Glaser. The book is divided into four parts, with different underlying themes. Downey, L. E., Blezat, A., Nicholas, J., Omar, R., Golden, H. L., Mahoney, C. J., et al. 2019928.pdf,Passage1 Greek coinage 1. Neuroimage 20, 244256. 2008 eNotes.com If there are three dates, the first date is the date of the original 16 (August 15, 2007): 843. Brain Mapp. One of the most affecting chapters addresses music and emotion. Since the 1970s, there have been multiple studies on the benefits of music therapy for clients with medical conditions, trauma, learning disabilities, and handicaps. In addition, if music is so central to our whole being, why do some people have such prodigious musical talents while others seem to be lacking these abilities? doi:10.1002/hbm.20180, Martens, M. A., Reutens, D. C., and Wilson, S. J. The right kind of music, usually legato with a clear rhythm, can help patients with Parkinsonian symptoms entrain their movement, particularly walking, with the steady rhythm of the music. doi:10.1016/j.neuron.2009.03.024, Warren, J. D. (2008). 18 Apr. Music might therefore be somewhat analogous to other categories of abstract stimulus (for example, number puzzles) in which patients with FTLD may also show obsessional interest. Sacks makes an important distinction between music therapy that is directed toward problems with movement and motor coordination and music therapy that requires not just music itself but also the empathetic and relational skills of the therapist to help the patient with memory loss. Download the entire Musicophilia study guide as a printable PDF! Rohrer et al. The citation above will include either 2 or 3 dates. Sacks also writes about Tourette syndrome and the effects that music can have on tics, for example, slowing tics down to match the tempo of a song. doi:10.1146/annurev.psych.56.0911 03.070225, Pievani, M., de Haan, W., Wu, T., Seeley, W. W., and Frisoni, G. B. New Statesman 137 (October 29, 2007): 55-56. This portion of the brain processes rhythm and regulates body movement and coordination. Abnormally enhanced appreciation of music or "musicophilia," reflected in increased listening to music, craving for music, and/or willingness to listen to music even at the expense of other daily life activities, may rarely signal brain disease: examples include neurodevelopmental disorders such as Williams' syndrome ( Martens et al., 2010 ), The musicophilic and non-musicophilic patient subgroups did not differ in mean age, gender, or years of education (Table 1); average disease duration was non-significantly longer (p = 0.06) in the musicophilic subgroup. Emotions induced by operatic music: psychophysiological effects of music, plot, and acting: a scientist's tribute to Maria Callas. For instance, in Part II: A Range of Musicality, Sacks devotes one chapter to the phenomenon of synesthesia and music. However, patients rated the program helpful and potentially beneficial. Acad. I would suggest, as a starting point, that you might contact the authors of the paper I wrote about in this blog. Psychol. Hailstone et al. Brain 131, 890894. Neurosci. Marvin Wolfthal of The New England Journal of Medicine summarizes Musicophilia as well when he writes, "The subjects covered in the book include hallucinations, cochlear amusia, parkinsonism,. 10, 829843. Knopf. In essence, musical play creates an atmosphere that emboldens a child to free expression and reproductive skills. People have looked a lot at people who dont react to music (anhedonia) or who have a difficulty in processing music (amusia) but really not much at the other end of the spectrum. Sacks discusses how blindness can affect the perception of music and musical notes, and he also writes that absolute pitch is much more common in blind musicians than it is in sighted musicians. doi:10.1093/brain/awn017, Warren, J. D., Rohrer, J. D., and Hardy, J. doi:10.1212/WNL.0b013e31821103e6, Groussard, M., La Joie, R., Rauchs, G., Landeau, B., Chtelat, G., Viader, F., et al. Sci. Note: When citing an online source, it is important to include all necessary dates. Emotion and Meaning in Music. After the lightning strike the man was left with no long lasting significant cognitive changes (remarkable) with the excepting of a new raging passion for music, both in the form of listening and in learning the piano. In addition, the network of areas we have demonstrated includes a number of brain regions previously implicated in mediating musical memory and emotional responses to music in the healthy brain (Platel et al., 2003; Koelsch et al., 2006; Watanabe et al., 2008; Herholz et al., 2012), while altered connectivity within this network may provide a mechanism for impaired acquisition of musical skills in congenital amusia (Hyde et al., 2006, 2011) and for acquisition of skills during musical training (Groussard et al., 2010). By doing this, music has the ability to temporarily stop the symptoms of such diseases as Parkinsons Disease. Showing 1 to 3 of 8 entries. Free shipping for many products! Music: a unique window into the world of autism. For the purposes of this study, patients were classified as exhibiting or not exhibiting musicophilia as defined above (musicophilic/non-musicophilic), based chiefly on retrospective review of data obtained from a research questionnaire administered to care-givers detailing patients' behavioral symptoms, including altered musical listening habits, since the onset of the clinical syndrome. This new paper gives an initial idea of the kind of neural signature that might underlie the symptoms of musicophilia. They might be keen to hear more from you or, since they work in the area, could pass you on to people in the field. All had been diagnosed with a syndrome of FTLD (either bvFTD or SD) by a senior neurologist according to current consensus criteria (Gorno-Tempini et al., 2011; Rascovsky et al., 2011), based on detailed clinical and neuropsychological evaluation and supported by characteristic profiles of regional atrophy on structural volumetric brain MRI. In patients with dementia, it is found that most patients respond to music from their youth, rather than relying on a certain rhythm or element.
