Tourette's And OCD Overlap, And a Newly Discovered Brain Link May Explain Why

Summary by Science Alert
A new study has found evidence of a brain link that could explain why Tourette syndrome often overlaps with other neuropsychiatric conditions such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and potentially lead to better treatments. Researchers led by a team at Kobe University in Japan used a mouse model of tic-like movements to investigate the brain circuitry underlying the involuntary movements that characterize Tourette's. "We believe that the n…

A study conducted by researchers at Kobe University in Japan has identified a neural connection between brain regions that may explain the overlap between Tourette syndrome and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The research, published in the journal Cell Reports, uses a mouse model to investigate the brain circuitry related to involuntary movements characteristic of the syndrome. Discovery of neural connection between brain regions The resear…
