nEURAL oSCILLATIONS

(Verse 1) When the rhythm hits, neurons start to fire, Mesolimbic pathways, pleasure takes us higher, Syncopated beats, they entrain the mind, Cerebral cortex in harmony we find. (Pre-Chorus) Dopaminergic surge, joy it will induce, Endorphins in the synapse, cut us loose, Dissonant intervals, tension we engage, Hypothalamus and amygdala on stage. (Chorus) Music in the brain, neurochemistry entwined, Emotions they ignite, pathways realigned, Synaptic plasticity, circuits rearranged, Neurotransmitters flow, thoughts exchanged. (Verse 2) Minor chords can trigger, limbic system’s sigh, Sadness in the hippocampus, we comply, Baroque compositions, boost our spatial skill, In prefrontal cortex, cognitive thrill. (Pre-Chorus) Upbeat tempos, beta waves ascend, Sympathetic arousal, spirits mend, From lullabies to marches grand, Neuroplasticity, understands. (Chorus) Music in the brain, neurochemistry entwined, Emotions they ignite, pathways realigned, Synaptic plasticity, circuits rearranged, Neurotransmitters flow, thoughts exchanged. (Bridge) Different genres, neural codes, Sympathetic drives, mode by mode, Jazz’s improvisation, frontal lobe ignites, Rock’s adrenaline, amygdala excites. (Chorus) Music in the brain, neurochemistry entwined, Emotions they ignite, pathways realigned, Synaptic plasticity, circuits rearranged, Neurotransmitters flow, thoughts exchanged. (Outro) So let the music play, neural oscillations move, Feel the brainwaves, in every groove, In the harmony of life, the science clear, With the soundtrack of our minds, we revere.
