Tourettism occurring during gender transition with testosterone therapy
Objective: Past decades have seen an increase in gender dysphoria subjects seeking hormonal treatment1,2. We report motor and vocal tics following testosterone therapy introduction for…Brain-behavior quantification and synchronization to drive closed-loop deep brain stimulation
Objective: Closed-loop DBS systems require a neural biomarker to responsively turn on stimulation, which in turn requires neurophysiological quantification synchronized to behavior or symptoms. Our…Role of the cerebellocortical pathway in the pathophysiology of adult with Tourette’s syndrome
Objective: To assess state-dependent cerebellar-cortical connectivity, through transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), in adult patients with Tourette Syndrome (TS) during a voluntary tic inhibition task. A…Beliefs about Tourette Syndrome in Adolescent Patients with Tics
Objective: To explore information resources and individual perceptions of causes and modifiers of Tourette Syndrome (TS) and tic disorders. Background: The development of tics is…Social media consumption in adolescents with tics
Objective: To explore the impact of social media behaviors in adolescents with tic disorders. Background: Social media has an increasing role in disseminating information and…Metagenomic exploration of the gut microbiome in a sibling-controlled pilot study of children with Tourette Syndrome
Objective: To detect gut microbial signatures of Tourette syndrome (TS) in the first sibling-controlled investigation of this condition. Background: The contribution of gut microbiome, and…The Association Between Tic Disorders and Atopy
Objective: To determine whether pediatric patients with tic disorders have an altered risk of atopy when compared with controls, whether this difference in risk is…Dendritic cells and brain metabolites in Tourette’s
Objective: We aimed to study in vivo aspects of neuro-inflammation in Tourette syndrome (TS) patients exploring frequency and distribution of circulating blood-derived dendritic cells and…Children with Tourette syndrome show greater variability in an arm-position-matching proprioceptive task
Objective: To explore proprioceptive performance in children with Tourette syndrome (TS) using a robot-based task. Background: Sensory processing in TS may be affected by noisier…Cerebellar structural covariance networks in young people with Tourette syndrome
Objective: To investigate discrete structural brain networks in children and adolescents with Tourette syndrome [TS] relative to a group of matched control participants. Background: TS…
