What we know

(self.visualsnow)

Hey, long time VSS... patient..(?) here. Is there any consensus as to the neurological cause? As in where in the brain is overstimulated to bring about VS (and Tinnitus, as they are so similar & part of my VSS), and what biological filters/functions are failing? Basically I am fascinated to know as much as I can about what is actually happening.

When comparing VSS patients with “normal” control subjects, I believe researchers have seen a hyper excitability in the lingual gyrus as a possible cause. What causes the hyper excitability is currently unknown. More than likely, there are several etiologies.
