Listening to music, playing it, and creating it involves virtually the use of all regions of the brain. Musical listening is first related to the subcortical structures of the brain, such as the cochlear nuclei, brainstem, and cerebellum. From there, it acts on the auditory cortex, on both sides of the brain. When listening to music, brain memory centers such as the hippocampus and language centers in the frontal and temporal lobes are activated.
