Recent studies suggest that low frequency neural
oscillatory activity contributes to tinnitus generation.
To explore this issue, we measured the amplitude of
low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF) in resting-state
functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during
salicylate-induced tinnitus and during sound
stimulation. We found that salicylate significantly
increased ALFF oscillatory activity in several auditory
and non-auditory regions previously implicated in
tinnitus. Music stimulation tended to potentiate the
salicylate-induced hyperactivity in the ALFF responses
in many auditory areas. Resting-state ALFF fMRI might be
used to identify the aberrant neural networks in humans
who suffer from severe, debilitating tinnitus.
