Researchers find no evidence to support the theory that strep throat may lead to the development of tics in children with a parent or sibling with a chronic tic disorder.
A new study identifies a neural network that appears to be responsible for the development of tics and tic disorders. Researchers say deep brain stimulation applied to this network helps alleviate symptoms of tics.
Almost 20% of children develop facial or vocal tics by the time they are elementary school age. For many children, knowing others are watching them helps to reduce tic behaviors. A histor of anxiety disorder has been associated with tics in young children. Understanding more about tic behaviors in children may help to develop new strategies to help those with Tourette suppress tics.
Children of younger parents are at increased risk of ADHD and Tourette syndrome, while children of older parents are at more risk of being diagnosed with OCD and autism.
According to researchers, forming both good and bad habits depends more on how often you perform an action than the satisfaction you get from the action.
Researchers discover structural changes in two genes that increase the risk for Tourette syndrome.
Histamines may help to reduce tics associated with Tourette syndrome, a new mouse study finds.
Researchers have identified four damaged genes which disrupt normal brain development in those with Tourette syndrome.
Deep brain stimulation helps reduce movement tics and verbal outbursts in people suffering from Tourette, researchers report.
Researchers use a new computer based brain stimulation to demonstrate tics associated with Tourette syndrome as a result of interaction between multiple brain regions.
A new neuroimaging study identifies differences in brain areas in children with Tourette syndrome compared to peers without the disorder.
Researchers discover children with Tourette syndrome are faster at assembling sounds into words than typically developing children.
