The relevance of spontaneous activity for the coding of the tinnitus sensation.

چکیده
In this chapter we will present support for the hypothesis that synchronous neuronal activity of cell assemblies within the auditory cortex could be the underlying neural code of tinnitus. Such synchronous activity is reflected in the ongoing oscillatory activation pattern that can be recorded non-invasively using MEG and EEG techniques. We conclude that such an oscillatory model of tinnitus can explain many different observations regarding tinnitus.

ABSTRACT Menier’s disease or Idiopatic endolymphatic hydrops is a disorder of the inner ear associated with a symptom complex consist of spontaneous, episodic attacks of vertigo, sensorineural hearing loss that usually fluctuates, tinnitus and often a sensation of aural fullness. The pathologic basis of disease is a disorder of the membranous labyrenth, due to endolymphatic hydrops. ...

Auditory Electrical Stimulation for Tinnitus Suppression Tinnitus is the conscious experience of sound which arises in the head of its owner, but without a voluntary origin obvious to that person. About 10-15% of all adults report prolonged spontaneous tinnitus (PST). There are a lot of methods for suppressing this complaint. One of these methods is electrical stimulation. Electrical stimu...

Abstaract Background and Aim: Tinnitus is a specific auditory sensitivity in which the patient hears nonexistent sounds. From neurological point of view, in majority of them increment in neural activity has been proposed characterized by increase in spontaneous firing rate in central auditory system. According to a hypothesis, tinnitus is a result of abnormal synaptic plasticity and reduced inh...
