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.
