Brain correlates of music-evoked emotions
TL;DR: Functional neuroimaging studies on music and emotion show that music can modulate activity in brain structures that are known to be crucially involved in emotion, such as the amygdala, nucleus accumbens, hypothalamus, hippocampus, insula, cingulate cortex and orbitofrontal cortex.

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
TL;DR: This work builds on previous theoretical models that emphasize the role of prediction in music appreciation by integrating these ideas with recent neuroscientific evidence to summarize how complex cognitive abilities and cortical processes integrate with fundamental subcortical reward and motivation systems in the brain to give rise to musical pleasure.

Normative and scientific approaches to the understanding and evaluation of art.
TL;DR: The psycho-historical framework proposes that appreciators' responses to art vary as a function of their sensitivity to its historical dimensions, but the explanatory power of that framework is limited insofar as it assimilates relevantly different kinds of appreciation.
