Tourette Syndrome Research

For the past two years we have been studying unmedicated children ages 7-13 with Tourette Syndrome (TS) at the Center for Mind and Brain and Imaging Research Center at UC Davis while they perform our Finding Nemo game in the MRI scanner. This game is relatively easy and has been designed to test the aspects of cognitive control that we are most interested in. The scans we run are both anatomical (looking at brain structure) and functional (looking at brain activity). We have recently analyzed and published the first paper from this batch of data. The results have proven to be very interesting and have encouraged us to continue collecting data. We hope to shed more light on the causes and neural workings of TS, as well as start looking into therapeutic methods.
