A conceptual framework for the neurobiological study of resilience

TL;DR: This work proposes a unified theoretical framework for the neuroscientific study of general resilience mechanisms and posits that a positive (non-negative) appraisal style is the key mechanism that protects against the detrimental effects of stress and mediates the effects of other known resilience factors.

Predictions and the brain: how musical sounds become rewarding

Rated preference for musical compositions as it relates to complexity and exposure frequency

TL;DR: This paper found that the affective consequences of repeated exposure varied depending upon whether the repeatedly exposed composition was more or less complex than the subject's preferred complexity level, suggesting that repeated exposure effects are a function of both situational and individual factors.
