The neuroscience of tinnitus.
Trends in neurosciences · 2004
Flagship review proposing that tinnitus reflects reorganization of the cortical tonotopic map and increased neural synchrony after hearing loss.
Enriched acoustic environment after noise trauma reduces hearing loss and prevents cortical map reorganization.
The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience · 2005
In cats, an enriched sound environment placed right after noise trauma reduced hearing loss and prevented the cortical map reorganization that trauma alone produced.
Ringing ears: the neuroscience of tinnitus.
The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience · 2010
Symposium review tying cortical map reorganization together with increased spontaneous firing/synchrony, cross-modal (jaw/eye) modulation, preserved inhibition in resilient older adults, and a non-auditory limbic network.
