"Neurotransmitters are the brain chemicals that communicate information throughout our brain and body. They relay signals between nerve cells, called “neurons.” The brain uses neurotransmitters to tell your heart to beat, your lungs to breathe, and your stomach to digest. . . . . . . . ." Neurogistics.
"There are many
practicing neurologists including
associate professors of neurology, that
believe tinnitus has little to do with
neuroscience.
However neuroscience is an ever growing
field with new discoveries demanding the
expanding of existing boundaries resulting
in a new perspective."
"Every great and deep difficulty bears in itself its own solution. It forces us to change our thinking in order to find it." --Niels Bohr, nuclear physicist and Nobel Prize winner
What is Auto Neurosensory
Function? It is a default hierarchal process
within all organisms.
A hierarchy that sets
default priorities we have little or no control
over. Most times to the benefit of the organism
but sometimes to the organism’s detriment.
Example –
an injury occurs, neurotransmissions (electrical
impulses) facilitate the delivery of blood and
liquids to the location of the injury to begin
the protection and healing to the said area.
However when this process occurs (as a default)
within the patient suffering from say,
mesothelioma, the lungs are filled and the
patient can drown.
With tinnitus, ANF is the
protagonist.
Let me explain. Neurotransmitters
fire constantly. With the senses, signals are
sent to nerve endings and the brain receives a
response. When the response is limited and/or
does not exist, the brain increases the
intensity of the electrical impulses to gain a
response and heal or repair the area, as in the
former example. With touch, say if the tips of
the fingers are numbed by extreme cold, a
tingling sensation is felt. In this case the
antagonist is the numbness, all be it the lack
of response. The process has successfully
executed its function.
With the tinnitus affected auditory
system the antagonist is some form of damage or
restriction placed on the cilia to prevent a
normal response. Yes, the cilia not only respond
to external stimuli but also are constantly
engaged with the brain and always active, moving
thus creating an electrical impulse. When the
response is limited or non-existent the brain
goes into default mode . . . .
Tinnitus sufferers experience
varied frequencies or types of tinnitus because
the cilia damaged or restricted may be
different. Sound is the outcome, not from
external stimuli but manifested by the
neurotransmissions directed at the cochlear
nerve.
Over time the tinnitus increases by
default. Why?
There is no response from the cilia
affected and the neurotransmissions increase to
gain a response.
As the electrical impulses increase
over time and because the cilia are extremely
fragile, the intensity is such that it can place
the cilia into a ‘shock’ state in the same way a
loud external event can.
The initial injury to the cilia is
the antagonist. The default process of
increasing electrical impulses,
ANF is the protagonist.
