While tics have been considered to result from an aberrant function of the brain's motor cortex, a Kobe University mouse study has now discovered a connection to the brain's emotional functions. The ...

A new computer-based brain simulation shows that motor tics in Tourette syndrome may arise from interactions between multiple areas of the brain, rather than a single malfunctioning area. A new ...

Electric zaps can help rewire the brains of Tourette syndrome patients, effectively reducing their uncontrollable vocal and motor tics, a new study shows. The procedure, called deep brain stimulation ...

Individuals with severe Tourette syndrome or chronic tic disorder (TS/CTD) are at increased risk for cervical spine disorders and related neurological conditions, new research suggests. In a study of ...
