However, how these regions relate to perceptual characteristics of tinnitus, and how oscillations in various frequency bands are associated with communications within the tinnitus network is still incompletely understood. Recent evidence suggests that apart from changes of the tinnitus severity the changes of tinnitus dominant pitch also have modulating effect on the underlying neuronal activity in a number of brain areas within the tinnitus network. Therefore, in a re-analysis of an existing dataset, we sought to determine how the oscillations in the tinnitus network in the various frequency bands interact. We also investigate how changes of tinnitus loudness, annoyance and pitch affect cross-frequency interaction both within and between nodes of the tinnitus network. Results of this study provide, to our knowledge, the first evidence that in tinnitus patients, aside from the previously described changes of oscillatory activity, there are also changes of cross-frequency coupling (CFC); phase-amplitude CFC was increased in tinnitus patients within the auditory cortex and the dorsolateral prefrontal regions between the phase of delta-theta and the amplitude of gamma oscillations (Modulation Index [MI] 0.17 in tinnitus patients vs. 0.08 in tinnitus free controls). Moreover, theta phase in the anterior cingulate region modulated gamma in the auditory (MI 0.1) and dorsolateral prefrontal regions (MI 0.19). Reduction of tinnitus severity after acoustic coordinated reset therapy led to a partial normalization of abnormal CFC. Also treatment induced changes in tinnitus pitch significantly modulated changes in CFC. Thus, tinnitus perception is associated with a more pronounced CFC within and between nodes of the tinnitus network. CFC can coordinate tinnitus-relevant activity in the tinnitus network providing a mechanism for effective communication between nodes of this network.Keywords: tinnitus pitch, oscillations, delta band activity, alpha rhythm, gamma band activity, coordinated reset neuromodulation, cross frequency coupling 000187655 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF2-333$$a333 - Pathophysiological Mechanisms of Neurological and Psychiatric Diseases (POF2-333)$$cPOF2-333$$fPOF II$$x0 000187655 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, juser.fz-juelich.de 000187655 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aLangguth, Berthold$$b1 000187655 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)131869$$aHauptmann, Christian$$b2$$ufzj 000187655 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)131884$$aTass, Peter A.$$b3$$ufzj 000187655 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2411902-7$$a10.3389/fnins.2014.00284$$gVol. 8$$p284$$tFrontiers in neuroscience$$v8$$x1662-453X$$y2014 000187655 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/187655/files/FZJ-2015-01281.pdf$$yOpenAccess 000187655 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/187655/files/FZJ-2015-01281.jpg?subformat=icon-144$$xicon-144$$yOpenAccess 000187655 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/187655/files/FZJ-2015-01281.jpg?subformat=icon-180$$xicon-180$$yOpenAccess 000187655 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/187655/files/FZJ-2015-01281.jpg?subformat=icon-640$$xicon-640$$yOpenAccess 000187655 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:187655$$pdnbdelivery$$pVDB$$pdriver$$popen_access$$popenaire 000187655 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline 000187655 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0310$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bNCBI Molecular Biology Database 000187655 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0500$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bDOAJ 000187655 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 000187655 915__ $$0LIC:(DE-HGF)CCBY4$$2HGFVOC$$aCreative Commons Attribution CC BY 4.0 000187655 9141_ $$y2014 000187655 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)131869$$aForschungszentrum Jülich GmbH$$b2$$kFZJ 000187655 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)131884$$aForschungszentrum Jülich GmbH$$b3$$kFZJ 000187655 9132_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF2-89572$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF2-89570$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-890$$aDE-HGF$$bKey Technologies$$lDecoding the Human Brain$$v(Dys-)function and Plasticity$$x0 000187655 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF2-333$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF2-330$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF2-300$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF2$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bGesundheit$$lFunktion und Dysfunktion des Nervensystems$$vPathophysiological Mechanisms of Neurological and Psychiatric Diseases$$x0 000187655 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)INM-7-20090406$$kINM-7$$lGehirn & Verhalten$$x0 000187655 980__ $$ajournal 000187655 980__ $$aVDB 000187655 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000187655 980__ $$aFullTexts 000187655 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)INM-7-20090406 000187655 9801_ $$aFullTexts
