> When you are enjoying music, your brain’s music-listening networks communicate with your dopamine-reward network to deliver a personalized sonic treat. For listeners whose brains have diminished connections between their reward network and their musical networks, the outcome can be musical anhedonia: an absence of pleasurable responses to music. Musical anhedonia affects an estimated 5 to 10 percent of the population. Individuals with this condition generate a normal amount of dopamine activity in response to art, food, money, and other types of stimuli—just not to music. Rogers, Susan; Ogas, Ogi.
