PROGRESSIVE CENTRALIZATION OF MIDBRAIN HYPERACTIVITYAFTER ACOUSTIC TRAUMA W. H. A. M. MULDERS* AND D. ROBERTSON Presenter: Danyi LU Neuroscience 192 (2011) 753–760
what's new spontaneous firing rates (SFRs) Acoustic trauma Central hyperactivity Early stage: continued peripheral afferent input Later stage: intrinsically generated within the central nervous system Abbreviation: spontaneous firing rates -SFRs inferior colliculus -IC central nucleus of the inferior colliculus -CNIC compound action potential-CAP
EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES overall experimental design
EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES 1.animals 2.anesthesia and surgery 3.inferior colliculus recording* 4.cochlear ablation 5.data analysisi
RESULTS-elevatedSFRs in CNIC neurons after acoustic trauma were morecommonly observedin CF regions of the CNIC that correlatewith the frequencies in the cochlea
Discussion-differential effect of cochlearablation at the two stages
Significance Important consequences for possible mechanisms and treatment of tinnitus Recent-onset Tinnitus Long-standing Tinnitus
