A dysfunctional default-mode network links tinnitus with autism
Evidence
Recently it was shown that a dysfunctional DMN is related to autism (Washington et al. 2014 ). Perhaps the DMN plays a similar role in tinnitus, where through the on-going tinnitus patients can’t get into a state of mind-wandering and therefore show a reduced activity in the DMN compared to controls. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 2754
