Since the publication of the first neuroscience study investigating emotion with music about two decades ago, the number of functional neuroimaging studies published on this topic has increased each year. This research interest is in part due to the ubiquity of music across cultures, and to music's power to evoke a diverse range of intensely felt emotions. To support a better understanding of the brain correlates of music-evoked emotions this article reports a coordinate-based meta-analysis of neuroimaging studies (n = 47 studies with n = 944 subjects). The studies employed a range of diverse experimental approaches (e.g., using music to evoke joy, sadness, fear, tension, frissons, surprise, unpleasantness, or feelings of beauty). The results of an activation likelihood estimation (ALE) indicate large clusters in a range of structures, including amygdala, anterior hippocampus, auditory cortex, and numerous structures of the reward network (ventral and dorsal striatum, anterior cingulate cortex, orbitofrontal cortex, secondary somatosensory cortex). The results underline the rewarding nature of music, the role of the auditory cortex as an emotional hub, and the role of the hippocampus in attachment-related emotions and social bonding.

基于坐标的音乐诱发情绪元分析

自从大约 20 年前第一篇研究音乐情绪的神经科学研究发表以来，发表在这个主题上的功能性神经影像学研究的数量每年都在增加。这种研究兴趣部分是由于音乐在不同文化中无处不在，以及音乐能够唤起各种强烈的情感。为了更好地理解与音乐诱发的情绪的大脑相关性，本文报告了一项基于坐标的神经影像学研究（n = 47 项研究，n = 944 名受试者）的元分析。这些研究采用了一系列不同的实验方法（例如，使用音乐唤起欢乐、悲伤、恐惧、紧张、颤抖、惊讶、不愉快或美感）。激活似然估计 (ALE) 的结果表明一系列结构中的大簇，包括杏仁核、前海马、听觉皮层和奖赏网络的众多结构（腹侧和背侧纹状体、前扣带皮层、眶额皮层、次级躯体感觉皮层）。结果强调了音乐的奖励性质、听觉皮层作为情感枢纽的作用，以及海马体在依恋相关情感和社会联系中的作用。
