Core Tip
Core Tip: There has been a noteworthy increase in musical hallucination (MH) publications over the last several years warranting a more recent and updated analysis of MH. In our study, we engaged in a more comprehensive review of these MH publications and studies. Our study and findings are unique in that we demonstrated the psychiatric conditions linked and/or associated with MH from a statistical perspective. The neurobiological processes associated with psychiatric disorders comorbid with MH were analyzed, categorized and summarized. Our study also found that the recent biological and molecular studies indicate possible mechanisms that cause neuron disruptions in MH.
