[Spam 6.11] Re: just curious...

[Guest guest]

For the benefit of Americans who have to pay for expensive tests, I would say

that fMRI is not going to give any helpful information. I am interested in

tinnitus and auditory hallucinations and have been to hundreds of academic

presentations, but do not think brain imaging helps much. With voices, the

speech areas of the brain light up as they do with real voices, but with no

indication of where the hallucination originated. With tinnitus, auditory brain

areas are activated, as they would if it originated in the ear, though one

interesting finding is that the brain dopamine circuits are also activated.

I am sure TMY and MSD are connected, but how and in what order I do not know.

Sensitivity to sound in one ear only can only be due to a problem in that ear.

There is no known brain disorder that causes unilateral deafness, for example.
