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...

Tic frequency and behavioural measures of cognitive control are improved in individuals with Tourette syndrome by aerobic exercise training (2020)
Journal Article

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...

Modulating Brain Networks With Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Over the Primary Motor Cortex: A Concurrent TMS/fMRI Study (2020)
Journal Article

Stimulating the primary motor cortex (M1) using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) causes unique multisensory experience such as the targeted muscle activity, afferent/reafferent sensory feedback, tactile sensation over the scalp and “click” sou...

Alterations in cerebellar grey matter structure and covariance networks in young people with Tourette syndrome (2020)
Journal Article

© 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.

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...
