Abstract:Early tinnitus onset is most likely attributed to an increased spontaneous activity caused by homeostatic plasticity effects in the peripheral auditory system. In a recent modeling study we demonstrated the effects of lateral inhibition on firing regularity related to an increased spontaneous activity. We found that increased activity causes the interconnected neurons to fire more regularly and synchronized. We hypothesized that a suppression of this orchestrated neural activity could be the physiological back… Show more
