In Memoriam: Professor Emerita Glenis R. Long

The Graduate Center mourns the passing of Professor Emerita Glenis R. Long (Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences), who died on July 16, 2021.
A prolific scholar, Long specialized in otoacoustic emissions or sounds generated by the human cochlea (inner ear) and was known for combining mathematical modeling with laboratory research, which was rare. She was also involved in the development of better clinical tools for the evaluation of hearing loss. The students she mentored are now in academic programs throughout the world.
“Glenis Long was a remarkable scientist, mentor, and collaborator in hearing-related fields for more than 40 years,” said Jungmee Lee, Ph.D., a research associate professor in the Department of Communication Science and Disorders at the University of South Florida who was one of Long’s postdoctoral students.

Tinnitus, a phantom auditory perception that can seriously affect quality of life, is generally triggered by cochlear trauma and associated with aberrant activity throughout the auditory pathways, often referred to as hyperactivity. Studies suggest that non-auditory structures, such as prefrontal cortex (PFC), may be involved in tinnitus generation, by affecting sensory gating in auditory thalamus, allowing hyperactivity to reach the cortex and lead to perception. Indeed, human studies have shown that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of PFC can alleviate tinnitus. The current study investigated whether this therapeutic effect is achieved through inhibition of thalamic hyperactivity, comparing effects of two common clinical rTMS protocols with sham treatment, in a guinea pig tinnitus model.
