This week in health news, from UC San Diego’s Scott LaFee
Some 50 years ago, someone noticed that music seemed to dull pain during dental operations, and dentists everywhere have been playing Muzak ever since — which may not be music per se, but that’s a different story.
In a new paper, researchers attempt to parse the reason why music soothes the savage beast or at least appears to make them feel less pain. They zeroed in on brain pathways called audio-somatosensory corticothalamic circuits in mice that allow sound to relieve pain. In their experiments, the scientists found that sounds with a low signal-to-noise ratio — think high intensity — worked the best to reduce pain that the mice felt from their inflamed paws.
