Neuro-behavioral impact of Tourette-related striatal disinhibition in rats (2025)
Preprint / Working Paper
Loayza, J., Taylor, C., Renstrom, J., Grasmeder Allen, R., Jackson, S., & Bast, T. (2025). Neuro-behavioral impact of Tourette-related striatal disinhibition in rats

Tourette syndrome has been linked to reduced GABAergic inhibition, so called neural disinhibition, in the dorsal striatum. Dorsal-striatal neural disinhibition in animal models, caused by local microinfusion of GABA-A-receptor antagonists, produces s...

The role of the cingulate cortex in the generation of motor tics and the experience of the premonitory urge-to-tic in Tourette syndrome (2020)
Preprint / Working Paper
Jackson, S. R., Sigurdsson, H. P., Dyke, K., Condon, M., & Jackson, G. M. The role of the cingulate cortex in the generation of motor tics and the experience of the premonitory urge-to-tic in Tourette syndrome

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...
