Exploring function and effective connectivity of the motor cortex and its role in Tourette syndrome

Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by vocal and motor tics. It is associated with cortical–striatal–thalamic–cortical (CSTC) circuit dysfunction and hyper-excitability of cortical motor regions. TS follows a developmental time course, in which tics often become inc...
