Bushy cell spontaneous firing does not relate to tinnitus behavior compared to fusiform cells. Data colored based on tinnitus-status (exposed-tinnitus are red, exposed-no-tinnitus are blue, and non-exposed controls are black). (A) Bushy cell SFR, when binned by BF for each Tinnitus Index (TI) carrier-band, does not significantly correlate with TI (r = 0.06, p = 0.14). (B) Fusiform cell SFR strongly correlates with frequency-matched TI values (r = 0.21, p = 1.7e-8). (C) Bushy cell cross-unit spontaneous synchrony (Spont. X-corr coef), binned by BF per TI-carrier bands, does not significantly correlate with TI (r = 6.7e-4, p = 0.87). (D) Fusiform cell X-corr coef significantly correlate with frequency-matched (TI r = 0.21, p = 0.026). (E) Bushy cell X-corr coef weakly correlates with geometric mean SFR of contributing unit-pair (r = 0.049, p = 3.38e-5). (F) Fusiform cell X-corr coef strongly correlates with geometric mean SFR in animals with tinnitus (r = 0.21, p = 0.026). Panels B, D and F republished with permission from authors in Wu et al.24.
