Abstract

In a recent American Journal of Psychiatry article, Wang and colleagues used functional MRI (fMRI) to examine cortico-striatal-thalamo-cortical circuitry in Tourette syndrome (TS), advancing the field's investigation of circuit level dysfunction in vivo in individuals with TS. Their results provide insight for interrogating neural mechanisms underlying different treatment methods.
