TLDR
Existing theories and their extrapolation are presented, together with some new potential mechanisms of tinnitus generation, encompassing the involvement of calcium and calcium channels in cochlear function, with implications for malfunction and aging of the auditory and vestibular systems.

Reorganization of auditory cortex in tinnitus

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that tinnitus is related to plastic alterations in auditory cortex and similarities between these data and the previous demonstrations that phantom limb pain is highly correlated with cortical reorganization suggest that t Finnitus may be an auditory phantom phenomenon.
Journal ArticleDOI

A neurophysiological approach to tinnitus: Clinical implications

TL;DR: A neurophysiological approach to tinnitus is presented and it provides a basis for treating patients with hyperacusis, which is considering to be a pre-tinnitus state.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tuning out the noise: limbic-auditory interactions in tinnitus.

TL;DR: A testable model for tinnitus is proposed that is grounded in recent findings from human imaging and focuses on brain areas in cortex, thalamus, and ventral striatum and aims to enable the development of effective treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

The functional neuroanatomy of tinnitus : Evidence for limbic system links and neural plasticity

TL;DR: Patients, compared with controls, showed evidence for more widespread activation by the tones and aberrant links between the limbic and auditory systems, providing evidence for cortical plasticity that may account for tinnitus and associated symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI

General review of tinnitus: Prevalence, mechanisms, effects, and management

TL;DR: A broad-based review of what is presently known about tinnitus, including prevalence, associated factors, theories of pathophysiology, psychological effects, effects on disability and handicap, workers' compensation issues, clinical assessment, and various forms of treatment is provided.

Stimulated acoustic emissions from within the human auditory system

TL;DR: A new auditory phenomenon has been identified in the acoustic impulse response of the human ear and this component appears to have its origin in some nonlinear mechanism probably located in the cochlea, responding mechanically to auditory stimulation, and dependent upon the normal functioning of the coChlea transduction process.

Topography of cognition: parallel distributed networks in primate association cortex.

TL;DR: The structure and functions of the frontal lobes, particularly the prefrontal "silent" portion, have recently again become the subject of intense interest and the availability of solid new findings in experimental animals and human patients and the promise of further discoveries are undoubtedly the basis of this renewed interest.

Multiple calcium channels and neuronal function

TL;DR: It is shown that neurons have a number of different types of calcium channels, each with their own unique properties and pharmacology, and these calcium channels may be important in the control of different aspects of nerve activity.
