| Abstract |
We studied the impact of the perception of pleasant and unpleasant music, as rated by healthy subjects with a psychometric scale, on the hormones prolactin and ACTH. In addition, the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-HT) was studied using the platelet model for central neurotransmission of 5-HT. We did not observe any significant changes of prolactin and ACTH during the perception of different kinds of music. The 5-HT content of platelets, however, was higher during the perception of pleasant music as compared to the perception of unpleasant music indicating an increased release of 5-HT during unpleasant music (748 ng/10(9) platelets vs. 699 ng/10(9) platelets; p<0.014). The difference of the 5-HT level was significantly correlated to the score of unpleasantness as rated by the subjects. Our data suggest that perception of unpleasant music induces increased release and decreased peripheral and possibly also central intracellular content of 5-HT. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 13. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 June 2022.
All research outputs
#2,841,475
of 26,017,215 outputs
Outputs from European Archives of Psychiatry and Clinical Neuroscience
#183
of 1,673 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#2,355
of 41,359 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Archives of Psychiatry and Clinical Neuroscience
#1
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,017,215 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 88th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,673 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.4. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 41,359 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
