Scientists claim that the music of Bach, Beethoven or Mozart can have a positive effect on a person's mood.

Classical music can have an antidepressant effect. This happens due to the synchronization of neural oscillations.

The researchers found that this effect is created by interactions between the auditory cortex, a part of the brain, and the reward system.

This set of structures regulates behavior, thereby providing a feeling of pleasure.

According to the scientists, classical music lovers showed a clear reduction in symptoms of depression.
