Description
Summary:Briefly, Kaltenbach elaborates on a model which suggests that the dorsal cochlear nucleus plays a pivotal role in the emergence of tinnitus; Dehmel, Cui, and Shore provide anatomical and neurobiological evidence of auditory/ somatosensory system interactions in tinnitus, which emphasizes the concept of multisensory interactions; Tzounopoulos promotes the idea that synaptic plasticity at the level of the dorsal cochlear nucleus can serve as a mechanism for tinnitus generation and also embraces the notion that tinnitus may be a multisensory phenomenon; Turner and Parrish apply a novel gap detection startle-reflex procedure in rats as a way to demonstrate behavioral evidence of tinnitus and possibly hyperacusis; Eggermont expands on a view that the cortical representation of tinnitus is manifest by increased synchrony between sets of neurons; and finally, using an epidemiological and statistical approach based on cluster analysis, Tyler, Coelho, Pan, Ji, Noble, Gehringer, and Gogel address the difficult task of identifying subgroups of tinnitus patients as a way to improve treatment outcomes.
