UT Dallas researchers report that brain stimulation accelerated learning in laboratory experiments that may eventually lead to improved treatments for strokes, tinnitus, chronic pain and more. In addition, rats in the study were able to perform tasks they had learned under stimulation even after their brain responses returned to their pre-stimulation state. These findings, published [...]
Conclusions Daily low-frequency rTMS to the left temporoparietal junction area for 2 weeks is no more effective than placebo for patients with chronic bothersome tinnitus. Possible explanations for the negative findings are short duration of treatment, failure of rTMS stimulation over the temporoparietal area to affect the auditory cortex buried within the Sylvian fissure, or [...]
Abstract Recent clinical studies have demonstrated that auditory cortex electrical stimulation (ACES) has yielded promising results in the suppression of patientsâ tinnitus. However, the large variability in the efficacy of ACES-induced suppression across individuals has hindered its development into a reliable therapy. Due to ethical reasons, many issues cannot be comprehensively addressed in patients. In order [...]
