Imaging the neural correlates of tinnitus: a comparison between animal models and human studies
Tinnitus is the perception of a sound, a so-called "phantom sound," in the absence of a physical sound. The phantom perception persists after transection of the auditory nerve, indicating that the site of tinnitus manifestation is in the central nervous system. Imaging studies in tinnitus sufferers have revealed increased neuronal activity-hyperactivity-in subcortical and cortical auditory cent...
متن کاملAnimal Models of Subjective Tinnitus
Tinnitus is one of the major audiological diseases, affecting a significant portion of the ageing society. Despite its huge personal and presumed economic impact there are only limited therapeutic options available. The reason for this deficiency lies in the very nature of the disease as it is deeply connected to elementary plasticity of auditory processing in the central nervous system. Unders...
متن کاملMRI Techniques and New Animal Models for Imaging the Brain
This chapter describes how large animal models can be used to improve our knowledge of neuroscience and brain disorders. Various animal models have been used in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Rodents and non-human primates are the most commonly used, but they present a number of drawbacks; for example, the rodent brain is smaller than that of humans and thus a higher spatial resolution is re...
متن کاملBridging animal and human models of exercise-induced brain plasticity.
Significant progress has been made in understanding the neurobiological mechanisms through which exercise protects and restores the brain. In this feature review, we integrate animal and human research, examining physical activity effects across multiple levels of description (neurons up to inter-regional pathways). We evaluate the influence of exercise on hippocampal structure and function, ad...
