Tourette syndrome (TS) is a hyperkinetic movement disorder characterised by the occurrence of chronic motor and vocal tics, and is associated with alterations in the balance of excitatory and inhibitory signalling within key brain networks; in partic...

The role of the insula in the generation of motor tics and the experience of the premonitory urge-to-tic in Tourette syndrome (2020)
Journal Article
Jackson, S. R., Loayza, J., Crighton, M., Sigurdsson, H. P., Dyke, K., & Jackson, G. M. (2020). The role of the insula in the generation of motor tics and the experience of the premonitory urge-to-tic in Tourette syndrome. Cortex, 126, 119-133. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cortex.2019.12.021

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

Effects of single session cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation on tic symptoms in Tourette's syndrome (2019)
Journal Article
Dyke, K., Jackson, G. M., Nixon, E., & Jackson, S. R. (2019). Effects of single session cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation on tic symptoms in Tourette's syndrome. Experimental Brain Research, 237(11), 2853–2863. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00221-019-05637-5

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...

Comparing GABA-dependent physiological measures of inhibition with proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy measurement of GABA using ultra-high-field MRI (2017)
Journal Article
Dyke, K., Pépés, S. E., Chen, C., Kim, S., Sigurdsson, H. P., Draper, A., Husain, M., Nachev, P., Gowland, P. A., Morris, P. G., & Jackson, S. R. (2017). Comparing GABA-dependent physiological measures of inhibition with proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy measurement of GABA using ultra-high-field MRI. NeuroImage, 152, 360-370. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.03.011

Imbalances in glutamatergic (excitatory) and GABA (inhibitory) signalling within key brain networks are thought to underlie many brain and mental health disorders, and for this reason there is considerable interest in investigating how individual var...

Intra-Subject Consistency and Reliability of Response Following 2 mA Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (2016)
Journal Article
Dyke, K., Kim, S., Jackson, G. M., & Jackson, S. R. (2016). Intra-Subject Consistency and Reliability of Response Following 2 mA Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation. Brain Stimulation, 9(6), 819-825. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.brs.2016.06.052

Background

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a popular non-invasive brain stimulation technique that has been shown to influence cortical excitability. While polarity specific effects have often been reported, this is not always th...
