Gain unique insight into the fundamental mechanisms and properties of tinnitus, including its identification, generation, maintenance, interaction with other sensory systems, and possible treatments.

Learning Outcomes
You will be able to:

  • discuss a model that suggests the dorsal cochlear nucleus plays a pivotal role in the emergence of tinnitus
  • explain how cortical representation of tinnitus is manifested by increased synchrony between sets of neurons
  • explain how synaptic plasticity can serve as a mechanism for tinnitus generation
  • identify subgroups of tinnitus patients as a way to improve treatment outcomes
  • discuss the use of a gap detection startle-reflex procedure as a way to demonstrate behavioral evidence of tinnitus
  • list anatomical and neurobiological evidence of auditory/somatosensory system interactions in tinnitus
