Specific immediate early gene expression induced by high doses of salicylate in the cochlear nucleus and inferior colliculus of the rat

Conclusion Our data show that a high dose of salicylate activates neurons in the DCN, pVCN and IC. The expression of these genes by high doses of salicylate strongly suggests that plastic changes in these areas are involved in the genesis of tinnitus.
