TS Research Breakthrough: Scientists Undercover Mechanism Controlling Tics

Scientists have discovered a mechanism that controls Tourette Syndrome tics. This groundbreaking study may allow for the creation of new, non-drug therapies to help TS individuals with their symptoms. The University of Nottingham-based team used Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation or TMS (pictured) to stimulate patients’ motor function and induce a tic response.

Research Update: The Genetics of TS and OCD

The genetic architecture of TS is largely unknown. Geneticists agree that TS is indeed a hereditary or genetic condition, meaning it is passed down from parent to child. Beyond that, little is understood about the topic. Researchers have long sought to understand which genes specifically cause TS.

Evidence-Based Knowledge

CBIT is a powerful behavioural technique supported by research-based evidence demonstrating its ability to reduce tic severity. That a behavioural treatment helps reduce tic severity is a step forward and reflects modern understanding of how the brain can be shaped, using brain plasticity, by the environment.
