Activation of presynaptic GABAB receptors modulates GABAergic and glutamatergic inputs to the medial geniculate body

B Luo, HT Wang, YY Su, SH Wu, L Chen - Hearing research, 2011 - Elsevier

CF Rabang, EL Bartlett - PloS one, 2011 - journals.plos.org
Acoustic stimuli are often represented in the early auditory pathway as patterns of neural
activity synchronized to time-varying features. This phase-locking predominates until the …

A heuristic pathophysiological model of tinnitus

D De Ridder - Textbook of tinnitus, 2011 - Springer
Keypoints 1. Tinnitus pathophysiology should explain both tinnitus distress and tinnitus
intensity. 2. Distress in tinnitus is most likely generated by an aspecific distress network …
