Tourette Synrome

Tourette syndrome (ts) is a neurological disorder characterized by repetitive, stereotyped, involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics. The disorder is named for dr. Georges gilles de la tourette, the pioneering french neurologist who in 1885 first described the condition in an 86-year-old french noblewoman.

SYMPTOMS

It involves uncontrollable repetitive movements or unwanted sounds (tics), such as repeatedly blinking the eyes, shrugging shoulders or blurting out offensive words.

CAUSES

It's a complex disorder likely caused by a combination of inherited (genetic) and environmental factors. Chemicals in the brain that transmit nerve impulses (neurotransmitters), including dopamine and serotonin, might play a role.
