Final Common Pathway for Tinnitus: Theoretical and Clinical Implications of Neuroanatomical Substrates
A final common pathway (FCP) for tinnitus has been hypothesized since 1989 for all clinical types of tinnitus, particularly subjective idiopathic tinnitus (SIT) of the severe disabling type. This was intended to explain the transformation-transition of the sensation of an aberrant auditory sensation—tinnitus (i.e., the sensory component)—to one of affect (i.e., the emotional-behavioral component) or, […]
