Could you be suffering from brain '˜disconnection'?

People who '˜can't get no satisfaction' from music may actually be suffering from a disconnection in their brain, according to new research.

Researchers found people that get little pleasure from music, who are known as musical anhedonics, show less activity in the ‘reward centre’ of the brain when songs are playing.

But musical anhedonics are able to respond to other enjoyable activities like gambling, which suggests there could be a missing link between their reward centre and the brain region which controls processing sounds.
