Developing the Premonitory Urges for Tic Disorders Scale–Revised (PUTS-R) (2020)
Journal Article

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...

Entraining Movement-Related Brain Oscillations to Suppress Tics in Tourette Syndrome (2020)
Journal Article

Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterised by the occurrence of vocal and motor tics. Tics are involuntary, repetitive, movements and vocalisations that occur in bouts, typically many times in a single day, and are often prec...

A feasibility study for somatomotor cortical mapping in Tourette syndrome using neuronavigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (2020)
Journal Article

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

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...
