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

Nathan Weisz et al. Prog Brain Res. 2007.

Abstract

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.
