An integrative model of auditory phantom perception: tinnitus as a unified percept of interacting separable subnetworks.
Neuroscience and biobehavioral reviews · 2014
The flagship model: tinnitus is not one damaged locus but an emergent percept of multiple parallel brain subnetworks, communicating at shared hubs at distinct oscillatory frequencies.
Thalamocortical Dysrhythmia: A Theoretical Update in Tinnitus.
Frontiers in neurology · 2015
Theoretical update on thalamocortical dysrhythmia: after input loss the thalamus, cortex loop slows from alpha to theta with surrounding gamma, and that theta, gamma coupling carries the phantom sound into consciousness.
Thalamocortical dysrhythmia detected by machine learning.
Nature communications · 2018
Human evidence: machine learning on resting EEG detected a thalamocortical dysrhythmia signature that is spectrally equivalent but spatially distinct across tinnitus, pain, Parkinson's and depression.
Phantom percepts: tinnitus and pain as persisting aversive memory networks.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America · 2011
Theoretical model proposing tinnitus and chronic pain are persisting 'aversive memory' networks, engaging parahippocampal/memory circuitry alongside the sensory pathway.
