Journal Article
Dyke, K., Jackson, G., & Jackson, S. (2022). Non-invasive brain stimulation as therapy: systematic review and recommendations with a focus on the treatment of Tourette syndrome. Experimental Brain Research, 240(2), 341-363. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00221-021-06229-y

Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterised by tics, which are stereotyped movements and/or vocalisations. Tics often cause difficulties in daily life and many with TS express a desire to reduce and/or gain control over the...

Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neurological disorder of childhood onset that is characterized by the occurrence of motor and vocal tics. TS is associated with cortical-striatal-thalamic-cortical circuit [CSTC] dysfunction and hyper-excitability of corti...

Developing the Premonitory Urges for Tic Disorders Scale–Revised (PUTS-R) (2020)
Journal Article
Baumung, L., Brandt, V., Müller-Vahl, K., Jackson, G., Jackson, S., Dyke, K., …Golm, D. (2021). Developing the Premonitory Urges for Tic Disorders Scale–Revised (PUTS-R). Journal of Neuropsychology, 15(1), 129-142. https://doi.org/10.1111/jnp.12216

Background: Patients with Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS) or chronic tic disorders frequently experience premonitory urges prior to tics. The ‘Premonitory Urges for Tic Disorders Scale’ (PUTS) is commonly used in order to assess urge severity in...

Tic frequency and behavioural measures of cognitive control are improved in individuals with Tourette syndrome by aerobic exercise training (2020)
Journal Article
Jackson, G. M., Nixon, E., & Jackson, S. R. (2020). Tic frequency and behavioural measures of cognitive control are improved in individuals with Tourette syndrome by aerobic exercise training. Cortex, 129, 188-198. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cortex.2020.01.029

Previous observations of improvements in cognition in typically developing children following moderate to vigorous exercise (e.g., Budde, Voelcker-Rehage, Pietrabyk-Kendziorra, Ribeiro, & Tidow, 2008; Hillman et al., 2009) have led to increased inter...

© 2020 The Authors Tourette syndrome (TS) is a childhood-onset neurological disorder characterised by the occurrence of motor and vocal tics and the presence of premonitory sensory/urge phenomena. Functional neuroimaging studies in humans, and experi... Read More about Alterations in cerebellar grey matter structure and covariance networks in young people with Tourette syndrome.

Effects of single session cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation on tic symptoms in Tourette's syndrome (2019)
Journal Article

Tourette syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by motor and phonic tics. For some, tics can be managed using medication and/or forms of behavioural therapy, however, adverse side effects and access to specialist resources can be bar...
