What is the influence of music on our nervous system?

Depends upon the individual and what kind of music.  Classical music seems to help.  Some classic rock is also beneficial.  Very loud heavy metal, well studies with mice have shown that Rave conditions conbined with amphetamine type drugs can kill.

Music is an expression of self. It is very powerful. It can affect mood, trigger memories...\nI think We attach to songs for two reasons. 1) The song conveys a message that reflects who we are and what we believe in. or\n2) It just has a snappy beat and we like the sound of it.\n\nCould music change the way the society perceives other cultures.  I'm guessing no. Primarily because there would typically be a language barrier and most people would not take the time to find out what the lyrics mean. But I believe if they did take that time, it would have some sort of positive impact. For example. Con Te Partiro sung by Anthony Bocelli is a very powerful love song when you look up the lyrics and then listen to it.\nAnyway, could music bring peace between cultures. I'm still thinking no on that. Interesting question.

Good grief - that's a bit of a broad question isn't it?  In one sense music is merely frequency - vibrations that our ears pick up and our brain converts to the sounds we call music.  In historical terms in 'classical' music it comes in a number of categories - roughly speaking it goes Mediaeval music - sort 1200s-1500s, Rennaisance Music, about 1500s, Baroque music, 1600s, Classical Music, 1700s, Romantic Music, 1800s, 20th Century Music and contemporary music.  OK, very rough dates, there are overlaps.  What do you want to know?  There's all kinds of stuff about musical analysis, notation, composing, conducting, performing etc etc

That's not true.  The brain gets the biggest hit.  That's why they're called EMOTIONAL.  As far as the other organs, you have to define how you measure "effect".  That is, everything gets kicked a little during an emotional wave, adrenals, muscles (including the heart), circulatory system, etc.  Just because the heart rate is the easiest to detect does not necessarily mean that it gets a bigger jolt than anything else.

Look up the "Mozart effect" on the internet, and you should find enough to keep you busy for a while.\n\nI also found the following review articles on pubmed, you may want to look at. Ask your teacher to help you to find the articles. \n\n2:  Schellenberg EG.  Music and nonmusical abilities.\nAnn N Y Acad Sci. 2001 Jun;930:355-71. Review. \n\n3:  Jenkins JS.  The Mozart effect.\nJ R Soc Med. 2001 Apr;94(4):170-2. \n\n4:  Thompson BM, Andrews SR.

Yes, loud, noisy music will raise my pulse rate, while slow music will, most definately, lower it. At times, I have to shut off the noisy stuff to relax.

Exercise and music both release endorphins in the brain.

how do drugs affect the brain's processes?

it would be affect. The answer to my knowledge, is that music would not have a statistically significant outcome on the plant, directly.  Rather, the people who nurture the plant would show the greatest magnitude of influence by the music and would treat the plant respectively.

You could play different music for people and have them write down what they instantly think of when they hear it.  It would give you insight to the brain.  But it would give you insight to people in general as well.  Then you could place all your answers together and analyze it and report your findings.  You'd need to do this on many people, just a few won't tell you much.  This is more psychology than neuroscience, but maybe it would work.

Some classical music have an extra ordinary effect on me. I have to stop what I'm doing and listen to it.  I feel it  filling up my body it's so beauty.  I don't know why music has that effect on humans.  There must be a scientific reason.

It increases the neuronal firings in the areas the stimulant affects. It makes your central nervous system work more.

Yes it does. An upbeat melody causes an increase in the heart rate. Fetuses in the womb are also affected by music, because they can hear the music through the amniotic liquid. Classical music is very soothing to them, loud music can be very frightening or disturbing. This has been demonstrated on sonigrams.

Turn off your stereo.  Turn off you I Pod.  Or if you can't live without music, try listening to classical music or smoothe instrumental jazz music.  Vocal music was always a big distraction for me when I was studying in college.  Instrumental music helped me concentrate.  \n\nThe book "The Mozart Effect" has very interesting insights regarding music and brain function.

Research seems to say that kids who are taught music also do much better with math, which is a highly sought skill in today's techie world.  In 2001 students participating in music classes scored higher on SATs than students who didn't do music.  The training involved in learning a musical instrument teaches the brain to become incredible good at organizing and performing many activities at once.  It increases self confidence and makes all learning easier.  It improves mood by changing brain wave activity.\n\nThese sites will give you much more information on the benefits of specific music instruction.  \n\nMusic is a powerful part of all societies and cultures.
