Functional MRI Neurofeedback Outperforms Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Reducing Tinnitus Distress: A Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Nicolas Gninenko

Background: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the current standard treatment for chronic severe tinnitus; however, preliminary evidence suggests that real-time functional MRI (fMRI) neurofeedback therapy may be more effective. Purpose: To compare the e ...

Functional neuroimaging options for tinnitus

Patrick Karl Alois Neff

Background: The pathophysiology behind tinnitus is still not well understood. Different imaging methods help in the understanding of the complex relationships that lead to the perception of tinnitus.Objective: Herein, different functional imaging methods t ...

Daily Contributors of Tinnitus Loudness and Distress: An Ecological Momentary Assessment Study

Patrick Karl Alois Neff

BackgroundTinnitus is a heterogeneous condition which may be associated with moderate to severe disability, but the reasons why only a subset of individuals is burdened by the condition are not fully clear. Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) allows a be ...

Lower glutamate and GABA levels in auditory cortex of tinnitus patients: a 2D-JPRESS MR spectroscopy study

Thorsten Kleinjung, Patrick Karl Alois Neff

We performed magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) on healthy individuals with tinnitus and no hearing loss (n = 16) vs. a matched control group (n = 17) to further elucidate the role of excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters in tinnitus. Two-dimensio ...

Negative Associations of Stress and Anxiety Levels With Cytotoxic and Regulatory Natural Killer Cell Frequency in Chronic Tinnitus

Patrick Karl Alois Neff

BackgroundDepression and anxiety are known to be associated with stress-induced changes in the immune system. Bothersome tinnitus can be related to stress and often co-occurs with depression and anxiety. This study investigates associations of psychologica ...

Real-Time fMRI Neurofeedback: Methods and Application to Chronic Tinnitus

Nicolas Gninenko

In the last twenty years, advances in real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (rt-fMRI) have offered exciting new tools to study the human brain. One of them, termed rt-fMRI neurofeedback (NF), has turned the MRI scanner environment into an interac ...

A 3D Microscaffold Cochlear Electrode Array for Steroid Elution

Jürgen Brugger, Joo Yeon Kim, Jongmoon Jang

In cochlear implants, the electrode insertion trauma during surgery can cause damage residual hearing. Preserving the residual hearing is an important challenge and the localized administration of drugs, such as steroids, is one of the most promising ways, ...

Optimal visuo-vestibular integration for self-motion perception in patients with unilateral vestibular loss

Olaf Blanke, Mariia Kaliuzhna, Steven Gale

Unilateral vestibular loss (UVL) is accompanied by deficits in processing of visual and vestibular self-motion cues. The present study examined whether multisensory integration of these two types of information is, nevertheless, intact in such patients. Pa ...

Neuroimaging of human auditory cortex : data analysis and applications

Naghmeh Ghazaleh

Modern neuroimaging technologies provide us with non-invasive methods for study- ing structure and function, and plasticity of the human auditory cortex. Here we have acquired high spatial resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data of the ...

High-Resolution fMRI of Auditory Cortical Map Changes in Unilateral Hearing Loss and Tinnitus

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Wietske Van der Zwaag, Melissa Saenz, Naghmeh Ghazaleh, Stephanie Clarke

Animal models of hearing loss and tinnitus observe pathological neural activity in the tonotopic frequency maps of the primary auditory cortex. Here, we applied ultra high-field fMRI at 7 T to test whether human patients with unilateral hearing loss and ti ...
