Somatomotor cortical mapping in Tourette syndrome using neuro-navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation

Biomarkers of tic severity in children with Tourette syndrome: Motor cortex inhibition measured with transcranial magnetic stimulation

“…Increased urge intolerance predicts greater tic‐related impairment 1 . Recent attempts to better understand and treat Tourette syndrome emphasized gaining a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between urges and tics 2 …”

“…1 Recent attempts to better understand and treat Tourette syndrome emphasized gaining a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between urges and tics. 2 We and others have combined behavioral, imaging, and neurophysiological methods to study neural circuits underlying urge-to-tic phenomenology. 3,4 Using magnetic resonance spectroscopy in the bilateral supplementary motor…”
