Impaired forward model updating in young adults with Tourette syndrome (2018)
Journal Article
Kim, S., Jackson, G. M., Dyke, K., & Jackson, S. R. (2019). Impaired forward model updating in young adults with Tourette syndrome. Brain, 142(1), 209-219. https://doi.org/10.1093/brain/awy306

Current theories of motor control emphasise how the brain may use internal models of the body to ensure accurate planning and control of movements. One such internal model - a forward model - is thought to generate an estimate of the next motor state... Read More about Impaired forward model updating in young adults with Tourette syndrome.
