Altered Electrophysiological Correlates of Motor Inhibition and Performance Monitoring in Tourette’s Syndrome

Tourette's syndrome (TS) is a childhood onset neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by the presence of motor and vocal tics. Tics fluctuate in frequency and intensity; they are sensitive to context and often amplified in exaggerated emotional states.
