Functional connectivity between posteromedial cortex and insula

  1. Music-evoked nostalgia increases functional connectivity between posteromedial cortex and insula in humans.

    “listening to nostalgic music involved increased functional connectivity of self-referential (posteromedial cortex) and affect-related regions (insula)”

  1. Music-evoked nostalgia increases default mode and reward network activity in humans.

    “Listening to nostalgic music, more than familiar non-nostalgic or unfamiliar music, was associated with bilateral activity in the default mode network, salience network, reward network”
