Electronic || Chill || Bass || Cinematic || Striatum Therapy

Music moods change constantly, but I will always chase musically induced euphoria.

 Good music causes a large rush of dopamine to flow into the ventral tegmental area of the brain, and then sends signals to the nucleus accumbens, which is largely responsible for addiction and impulsivity. 

Dopamine in the ventral striatum has the capability of eliciting the same neurochemical reactions that basic survival and drug use produces. This speaks to the incredible power that music has over us, and also proves that the chills you get when listening to that perfect song is not only reproducible, but biologically programmed into every one of us. 

||Chase the high with me, no matter where it takes us.||
