Our purpose was to use PET to evaluate the glucose metabolism of the inferior colliculus
(IC) and primary auditory cortex (PAC) in patients with asymmetric hearing loss (AHL) …

Controversy regarding functional reorganization in the adult brain remains. To investigate
whether neuroplasticity is present in adults with postlingual deafness, we examined the …

Hearing loss is known to impact brain function. The aim of this study was to characterize
cerebral metabolic Positron Emission Tomography (PET) changes in elderly patients …

Background In otosclerosis, CT of the temporal bone is used to confirm the diagnosis.
Whereas CT is a static diagnostic tool displaying the demineralization caused by …

In the last few decades functional neuroimaging tools have emerged to study the function of
the human brain in vivo. These techniques have increased the knowledge of how the brain …

The functional connectivity of the auditory cortex might be altered in deaf subjects due to the
loss of auditory input. We studied the developmental changes of functional connectivity of …

Cochlear implants (CIs) are used to provide sensations of sound to profoundly deaf patients.
The performance of the CI is assessed mainly by the subjective reports of patients. The aim …

Olfactory dysfunction is an early feature of Alzheimer disease. This study used multimodal
imaging of PET and 18F-FDG combined with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to investigate the …

Purpose Animal models of cortical deafness are essential for investigation of the cerebral
glucose metabolism in congenital or prelingual deafness. Autoradiographic imaging is …

Eleven patients suffering from chronic disabling tinnitus underwent an FDG-PET study
(positron emission tomography with [18F] deoxyglucose). Nine tinnitus patients revealed a …
