Changes in music-evoked emotion and ventral striatal functional connectivity after psilocybin therapy for depression

In patients with treatment-resistant depression, two-dose psilocybin therapy increased music-evoked pleasure that correlated with reductions in anhedonia and produced a post‑treatment decrease in nucleus accumbens functional connectivity with default mode network‑like regions during music listening, suggesting a neural mechanism for enhanced musical reward.
