Tourette syndrome is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by tics. Tic generation is
often linked to dysfunction of inhibitory brain networks. Some previous behavioral studies …

Background Inhibitory oscillatory mechanisms subserving tic compensation have been put
forward in Tourette syndrome. Modulation of the beta rhythm (15–25 Hz) as the well …

In patients with Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS) alterations of motor cortex (M1)
excitability at rest have been evidenced. In contrast, there has so far been little research into …

Tourette syndrome is characterized by 'unvoluntary'tics, which are compulsive, yet often
temporarily suppressible. The inferior frontal gyrus is implicated in motor control, including …

Hyperkinetic disorders may involve excess excitatory output from thalamus to cerebral
cortex. Case–control, neurophysiological studies in persons with Tourette Syndrome (TS) …

Background: The inability to inhibit unwanted behaviors and impulses produces functional
debility in a broad range of neuropsychiatric disorders. A potentially important model of …

The capacity to efficiently control motor output, by either refraining from prepotent actions or
disengaging from ongoing motor behaviors, is necessary for our ability to thrive in a stimulus …

Background Tics are the hallmark feature of Tourette syndrome. The basic
phenomenological and neurophysiological characteristics of tics have been widely …

Background: Tics can be voluntarily inhibited. However, the neurophysiology of voluntary tic
inhibition remains underexplored. The objective of this study was to explore state …

Background: Evidence that tic behaviour in individuals with Tourette syndrome reflects
difficulties inhibiting prepotent motor actions is mixed. Response conflict tasks produce …
