Phantom perception refers to the conscious awareness of a percept in the absence of an external stimulus. On the basis of basic neuroscience on perception and clinical research in phantom pain and phantom sound, we propose a working model for their origin. Sensory deafferentation results in high-frequency, gamma band, synchronized neuronal activity in the sensory [...]
Researchers say they have found a biological explanation for tinnitus, a phantom ringing sound in the ears that affects up to 20% of the general population.

Tinnitus has been associated with increased spontaneous and evoked activity, increased neural synchrony, and reorganization of tonotopic maps of auditory nuclei. However, the neurotransmitter systems mediating these changes are poorly understood. Here, we developed an in vitro assay that allows us to evaluate the roles of excitation and inhibition in determining the neural correlates of [...]

Summaryâ In a crossâsectional analysis of data from the Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP 0), temporomandibular disorders (TMD) were the strongest predictors for tinnitus beside headache. The aim of this study was to investigate whether signs and symptoms of TMD can be identified as risk factors for developing tinnitus. The SHIP 1 is a [...]
Tinnitus, a relentless and often life-changing ringing in the ears known to disable soldiers exposed to blasts, unwary listeners of too-loud music and millions of others, is the result of under-inhibition of key neural pathways in the brain’s auditory center, according to scientists at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in this week’s early [...]
In June, 2009, a 51-year-old woman presented to us with progressive dyspnoea on exertion, pulsatile tinnitus, back pain, and hair loss. Dyspnoea had started at least 1 year previously. During this time her exercise tolerance had decreased from an active lifestyle to the inability to climb stairs. 2 months before presentation, she started to have [...]
Tinnitus — an irritating ringing, hissing, whistling, roaring or thumping sound in the ears, with no external source — affects around seven million Britons at some point in their lives.
