Music and the Brain's Reward and Bonding Systems

Why did Prince’s fans feel such a strong connection to him? Why did he feel like family? It is likely a reflection of three factors—his music, his persona, and our brain.

If we look at the neurobiology behind our response to Prince, his music, and his death, it seems that there are two primary brain systems responsible: The Reward System (which encompasses both pleasure and pain) and the Bonding System, which uses many of the same neuropathways).

When fans felt like Prince touched them deeply, it was because, neurobiologically, he did. Deep within our brain is an area called the amygdala. This region is associated with the processing of emotional information. Music can have a tremendous impact on the amygdala. The area has interconnections with many portions of the brain, particularly those associated with memory.

This combination of neurochemistry connected many to Prince. There was a genuine bond. Due to neuroadaptation, people who are meaningful in our lives become a part of us (or to our brain). We experience it as a loss of a part of ourselves when they are gone, eiher because of death or a breakup. The breaking of a social bond, regardless of how, is responsible for the sensation that a piece of us is missing when we lose someone. Even if we have not seen or heard from the person in years, when we learn of their death, there will usually still be pain or discomfort in our reaction.

As a result, upon hearing of Prince’s death, we felt hurt and reacted by missing him and wanting to hear his music again—to feel him again. Because from the standpoint of our brain, he was always there through the emotions he generated years ago. And when that bond is truly broken—such as through death—we can feel it at our core. Naturally, there will be grief for those who established this kind of connection to Prince.
