In this study, we used J-difference edited MRS and resting-state fMRI to investigate correlation between intrinsic neuronal activity and GABA levels in the auditory cortex of patients with presbycusis. Our results indicated that abnormalities in GABAergic neurotransmission may underlie resting-state functional deficits in presbycusis.
