[6] In extra-pontine myelinolysis cases, these features are observed frequently in the corpus callosum, basal ganglia, hippocampus, lateral geniculate body, thalamus, cerebellum, and cerebral subcortex, and it is observed infrequently in the midbrain, internal capsule, and medulla oblongata.

Our finding are similar to many earlier reports where the MSG treatment caused vacuolations in the stroma of many body organs including liver tissue8, lateral geniculate body9, medial geniculate body,testes10,superior colliculus11, oviduct12, seminiferous tubules13 and interstitial connective tissue in testes14.

A functional imaging study showed that neural activity was increased in regions involved in the neural pathway of the auditory system, such as AC, inferior colliculus, and medial geniculate body.[29] However, resting state fMRI showed increased functional connection between the AC and hippocampus.[30],[31] We delivered electrical stimulation to the hippocampus and recorded the neuronal excitability of the AC, to gain insight into the possible regulatory effect of the hippocampus in tinnitus.
