Sažetak
Music is a very important factor in everyday life, involving mood, emotions and memories. The effect of music on the brain is
very debated. Certainly, music activates a complex network of neurones in auditory areas, mesolimbic areas, cerebellum and
multisensory areas. In particular, music exerts its effects on the brain of patients with epilepsy, having a dichotomous influence: it
can either be seizure-promoting in musicogenic epilepsy or antiepileptic. Several studies have shown that seizure-prone neural
networks may be stimulated by certain periodicities while other frequencies may prevent seizure activity. There are a lot of data in
the literature about the so-called "Mozart effect" (Rauscher et al. 1993). In previous studies we observed that in institutionalized
subjects with severe/profound intellectual disability and drug-resistant epilepsy, a systematic music listening protocol reduced the
frequency of seizures in about 50% of the cases. In this study we are conducting a survey on the observation of what happens to the
brain of patients suffering from drug-resistant epilepsy through electroencephalographic investigations, brain MRI and behavioural
analysis before and after six months of listening to Mozart music (Sonata K.448). The first step is to present the data of the first
patient under investigation.
