Tourette Syndrome and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: A Comprehensive Review of Structural Alterations and Neurological Mechanisms
Behav Brain Res. 2023 Jul 29:114606. doi: 10.1016/j.bbr.2023.114606. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCurrently, it is possible to study the pathogenesis of Tourette's syndrome (TS) in more detail, due to more advanced methods of neuroimaging. However, medical and surgical treatment options are limited by a lack of understanding of the nature of the disorder and its relationship to some psychiatric disorders, the most common of which is obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It is believed that the origin of chronic tic disorders is based on an imbalance of excitatory and inhibitory influences in the Cortico-Striato-Thalamo-Cor...

Functional connectivity during tic suppression predicts reductions in vocal tics following behavior therapy in children with Tourette syndrome
CONCLUSIONS: This study revealed that functional connectivity during tic suppression at baseline predicted reduction in vocal tic severity. These results suggest probable overlap between the mechanisms of voluntary tic suppression and those of behavior therapy for tics.PMID:37485677 | DOI:10.1017/S0033291723001940 (Source: Psychological Medicine)

Direct additive genetics and maternal effect contribute to the risk of Tourette disorder
Conclusions Our results demonstrate genetic maternal effect contributes to the risk of CTD. Failure to account for maternal effect results in an incomplete understanding of the genetic risk architecture of CTD, as the risk for CTD is impacted by maternal effect which is above and beyond the risk from transmitted genetic effect.

Mechanisms of cannabinoid tolerance
Biochem Pharmacol. 2023 Jun 20:115665. doi: 10.1016/j.bcp.2023.115665. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCannabis has been used recreationally and medically for centuries, yet research into understanding the mechanisms of its therapeutic effects has only recently garnered more attention. There is evidence to support the use of cannabinoids for the treatment of chronic pain, muscle spasticity, nausea and vomiting due to chemotherapy, improving weight gain in HIV-related cachexia, emesis, sleep disorders, managing symptoms in Tourette syndrome, and patient-reported muscle spasticity from multiple sclerosis. However, tolerance th...

Investigating the effects and side effects of two antipsychotic drugs in the treatment of children and adolescents with Tourette syndrome: a semi-experimental research
CONCLUSION: According to the results, the two medicines, Aripiprazole and Risperidone, effectively improved the symptoms of Tourette's disorder and its overall severity. However, there were no significant statistical differences between them. Furthermore, in terms of the medical side effects, the statistical comparison between the two medicines was impossible due to the small number of complications.PMID:37303178 | DOI:10.2174/1570163820666230609095720 (Source: Current Drug Discovery Technologies)
