    J Neurosci 33:697-708. 2013
    ..These findings indicate that tic-generating networks in basal ganglia mediated tic disorders extend beyond classical cerebro-basal ganglia circuits, leading to global network dysrhythmia including cerebellar circuits...

    Kevin W McCairn
    Unit on Neural Systems and Behavior, Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, Onna Son, Okinawa, Japan
    Neuroreport 23:206-10. 2012
    ..This finding supports the premise that deep brain stimulation targeted to the globus pallidus internus could be a viable treatment option for Tourette syndrome, and the use of pallidal stimulation for motor tics warrants further study...

    Kevin W McCairn
    The Leslie and Suzan Gonda Brain Research Center, Bar Ilan University, Israel
    Brain 132:2125-38. 2009
    ..The neuronal changes observed during tic formation may provide valuable insights into the underlying mechanism of tic disorders, as well as into basic information processing in the cortico-basal ganglia loop...
