Investigating sensorimotor representations, processing and inhibition in Tourette Syndrome: Insights from fMRI, MRS and TMS

Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a hyperkinetic neurodevelopmental movement disorder, characterised by motor and phonic tics, and has been associated with disruptions to cortical inhibition. y-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the most abundant inhibitory neurotransmitter in the cortex. GABA has been linked to b...
