Images can be perceived more quickly when accompanied by sound as indicated by the improved response time of monkey visual neurons, which are able to integrate signals from the auditory cortex without involving other brain areas.
BMC Neuroscience 2008, 9 :61
Human neuroblastoma cells respond to short-term treatment with reboxetine and desipramine with a decrease in expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), but show increased expression following long-term treatment, whereas fluoxetine treatment has no effect.

Musical excerpts eliciting strong emotional responses are remembered better than those that do not, with a more pronounced association between music related to positive emotions and long-term episodic memory for music.
