研究人员广泛研究了使用音乐作为诱导积极情绪和随后放松的手段。大量的研究都集中在使用音乐作为一种手段，减少焦虑和压力的感觉，以及帮助缓解许多病理。负责这些介导效应的精确机制从未真正确定。在目前的报告中，我们提出，一氧化氮（NO）是主要负责这些生理和心理放松效果的分子。此外，这种分子的重要性超出了机械的范围，并且对于它所介导的过程的发展是必需的。一氧化氮已被确定有助于听觉系统的发育，并参与耳蜗血流。我们表明，NO是另外负责诱导表现出的生理效应。我们继续概述导致这些影响的精确神经化学途径。此外，我们探讨了中枢神经系统内不同的情感中心之间的相互关系，并解释了音乐的引入如何通过NO与这些复杂的通路相结合来介导其影响。
The use of music as a means of inducing positive emotions and subsequent relaxation has been studied extensively by researchers. A great deal of this research has centered on the use of music as a means of reducing feelings of anxiety and stress as well as aiding in the relief of numerous pathologies. The precise mechanism responsible for these mediated effects has never been truly determined. In the current report we propose that nitric oxide (NO) is the molecule chiefly responsible for these physiological and psychological relaxing effects. Furthermore this molecules importance extends beyond the mechanistic, and is required for the development of the very process that it mediates. Nitric oxide has been determined to aid in the development of the auditory system and participate in cochlear blood flow. We show that NO is additionally responsible for the induced exhibited physiological effects. We proceed to outline the precise neurochemical pathway leading to these effects. Furthermore we explore the interrelationship between the varying emotion centers within the central nervous system and explain how the introduction of music can mediate its effects via NO coupled to these complex pathways.
