Brain Imaging

Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans),  magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),  functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Low-frequency (1 Hz) transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and repetitive TMS (rTMS) of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) can reduce tinnitus loudness. This effect is linked to altered functional brain connectivity in responders.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Neuromodulation
  • Tinnitus Research

Background:

  • Tinnitus loudness can be suppressed by neuromodulation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC).
  • Repetitive TMS (rTMS) of the DLPFC enhances the effects of auditory cortex rTMS for tinnitus distress.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if TMS and rTMS of the DLPFC can reduce tinnitus loudness.
  • To explore the underlying neural mechanisms of DLPFC neuromodulation in tinnitus.

Main Methods:

  • Two studies involving 44 tinnitus patients targeting the right DLPFC with 1 Hz or 10 Hz TMS (Study 1).
  • Responders from Study 1 received 10 sessions of rTMS (Study 2).
  • Tinnitus loudness was assessed using the visual analog scale (VAS); pre-TMS electroencephalography (EEG) and sLORETA were used to analyze functional connectivity.

Main Results:

  • 1 Hz TMS significantly reduced tinnitus loudness by 39.23% in 11 patients.
  • rTMS in these responders yielded a 21% improvement in VAS loudness, with 7 patients showing a mean suppression of 27.13%.
  • Responders exhibited distinct theta-band lagged linear connectivity between the DLPFC, anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), parahippocampus, and auditory cortex (AC).

Conclusions:

  • 1 Hz TMS and rTMS of the right DLPFC offer a transient reduction in perceived tinnitus loudness.
  • The therapeutic effect is mediated by functional connections within a network including the DLPFC, ACC, parahippocampus, and AC.
