Immune Dysfunction in Tourette Syndrome
The association between immunity and neurodevelopmental disorders has been extensively investigated in autism, suggesting a potential involvement of both cellular and humoral immunity in the establishment of synaptic connectivity modulation during development. A similar link has been proposed also for Tourette syndrome (TS), a complex, multifactorial disorder, in which the interplay between gen...
متن کاملWidespread abnormality of the γ-aminobutyric acid-ergic system in Tourette syndrome.
Dysfunction of the γ-aminobutyric acid-ergic system in Tourette syndrome may conceivably underlie the symptoms of motor disinhibition presenting as tics and psychiatric manifestations, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder. The purpose of this study was to identify a possible dysfunction of the γ-aminobutyric acid-ergic system in Tourette patients, e...
متن کامل6 Immunotropic Properties of GABA - ergic Agents in Suppression
Vigorous development of immunology and immunopharmacology is closely interrelated with formation of new scientific “branches”of neuroimmunology and neuroimmunopathology which predetermines the hypotheses of mutual regulationinteraction of the nervous and immune systems, of the significance of neuroimmune mechanisms in the regulation of most physiological functions and development of pathophysio...
متن کاملTourette Syndrome
A retrospective analysis of a 35-year single-center experience with pediatric tics and Tourette syndrome was conducted. 482 charts from 1972 to 2007 were reviewed. Follow-up surveys were mailed to last known address and 83 patients responded (17%). Response rate was affected by long interval from last visit; contact information was often incorrect as it was the address of the patient as a child...
متن کاملIncreased GABA Contributes to Enhanced Control over Motor Excitability in Tourette Syndrome
Tourette syndrome (TS) is a developmental neurological disorder characterized by vocal and motor tics and associated with cortical-striatal-thalamic-cortical circuit dysfunction, hyperexcitability within cortical motor areas, and altered intracortical inhibition. TS often follows a developmental time course in which tics become increasingly more controlled during adolescence in many individuals...
