Does music counteract mental fatigue? A systematic review.

PLoS One

January 2025

Department of Sport Studies, Faculty of Education Studies, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Selangor, Malaysia.

Article Synopsis
  • Mental fatigue is a state caused by prolonged cognitive tasks that negatively affects both mental and physical performance, leading to the need for effective countermeasures.
  • Music, being noninvasive and portable, is proposed as a potential solution to combat mental fatigue, although effectiveness can vary by music style.
  • A systematic review of nine studies found that relaxing, exciting, and personally preferred music can reduce feelings of mental fatigue and enhance cognitive performance, particularly in tasks involving inhibition and working memory.

Article Synopsis
  • * Openness to experience (OE), a trait linked with seeking new experiences, is shown to correlate positively with intelligence (IQ) and noradrenergic activity in the locus coeruleus (LC).
  • * Analysis of data from 135 young adults demonstrates that the LC is a key mediator in the relationship between OE and IQ, highlighting the significance of the NA system in personality and cognitive health.

Recurrent depression predicts high leptin concentrations in patients with coronary artery disease over an 18-months follow-up period: Findings from the prospective multicenter randomized controlled SPIRR-CAD Trial.

Background: Leptin, an adipokine suspected to play a role in coronary artery disease (CAD), may also be associated with deteriorated mental health. We investigated the prospective impact of recurrent depressed mood (RDM) on heightened plasma leptin levels in CAD patients.

Methods: Derived from the randomized SPIRR-CAD trial, plasma leptin were measured by the Human Leptin DuoSet ELISA at baseline in 539 patients (including 115 (21.

Introduction: Very little is known about daily life dynamics and mutual influences that tie together well-being and psychobiological stress responses in persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) and their romantic partners in particular. The role of social support and physical activity in the associations between emotional well-being and stress has not been investigated in the context of SCI yet and studies applying a dyadic approach, exploring the role of a romantic partner, are currently unavailable. The overall objective is thus to better understand the interplay between emotional well-being and the psychobiological stress marker cortisol, and to investigate the potentially moderating role of social support and physical activity in the well-being-stress association among persons with SCI and their romantic partners using a dyadic perspective.

Introduction: Advances have been made in understanding the aetiology of functional neurological disorder (FND); however, its pathophysiological mechanisms have not been definitively demonstrated. Evidence suggests interacting roles for altered emotional processing and interoception, elevated autonomic arousal, and dissociation, but there is limited evidence demonstrating their causal influence on specific FND symptoms. Our superordinate aim is to elucidate potentially shared and distinct aetiological factors and mechanisms in two common FND subtypes, functional seizures (FS) and functional motor symptoms (FMS).
