> I suggest you to read "Music, the brain and Ravel" by J. Sergent. It is
published in Trends in Neuroscience 16: 168-172, 1993. This article will
not tell you what happens really in the neuron circuitry or emotionally
when you hear music but it will show you what brain parts are activated
in relationship with auditory pathways and memory when you are just
listening to music and what are the other regions involved when you are
in addition playing an instrument. A nice subject. Good luck.
