Tourette syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics. It is caused by changes in brain chemicals like dopamine. While genes may play a role, the condition is not fully hereditary. Tourette's commonly begins in childhood and improves in late teens/early adulthood, though it is generally lifelong. Treatment focuses on managing severe symptoms through medications that block dopamine receptors or other drugs, as most cases do not require medication.

Power Point Presentation On Tourette
This presentation gives an overview of what Tourette Syndrome is and some of the medications that are prescribed.
Tourette Syndrome Presentation
School Project I presented in November 2009. Brief description: "Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a neurological disorder characterized by tics: involuntary, rapid, sudden movements or vocalizations that occur repeatedly in the same way. The cause has not been established and as yet there is no cure."
Tics and tourette’s syndrome
Tics are sudden, repetitive movements or sounds that involve discrete muscle groups. Tourette's syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by both motor and vocal tics which begin in childhood and are often linked to conditions like ADD and OCD. While there is no cure, tics typically improve after adolescence. Treatment options include medications, behavioral therapies, and supportive counseling to help manage symptoms and their social impact.
Tourettes disorder
Tourette's disorder is a neurological condition characterized by involuntary, rapid, and repetitive motor and vocal tics. It was first described in 1885 by George Gilles de la Tourette based on observations of patients exhibiting motor and vocal tics as well as coprolalia, palilalia, and echolalia. The lifetime prevalence is estimated to be 1 in 100 people, with onset typically around age 7. Co-occurrence of conditions like ADHD and OCD is also common. While the exact causes are unknown, genetic factors and abnormalities in dopamine transmission in the brain are thought to play a role. Treatment may involve behavioral therapy and medication to manage symptoms.
Tourette syndrome & other tic disorders
Tourette syndrome is a genetic neurological disorder characterized by motor and vocal tics that begin in childhood. It is caused by abnormalities in brain circuits involving the cortex, basal ganglia, and thalamus. Treatment involves psychoeducation, pharmacotherapy using dopamine antagonists, behavior therapy such as habit reversal training, and treatment of common comorbidities like OCD and ADHD. While there is no cure for tics, treatment can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

This document provides an overview of tic disorders, including Tourette's syndrome and chronic motor or vocal tic disorder. It defines tics and describes the DSM-IV criteria for different tic disorders. Potential etiologies include genetic and neurochemical factors. Treatment involves pharmacotherapy with antipsychotics or clonidine, as well as behavioral therapy such as habit reversal training. Prognosis is generally good, though comorbid conditions can worsen outcomes. The DSM-V made changes including reclassifying tic disorders as motor disorders and revising diagnostic criteria.
Tourette syndrome
Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary vocal and motor tics. Common tics include eye blinking, throat clearing, and limb or head movements. TS is diagnosed when both motor and vocal tics are present for at least one year. While sometimes inherited, the exact causes are unknown. Treatment may include medications and behavioral therapies to help manage symptoms. Educators are encouraged to accommodate students with TS by allowing for movement breaks, testing in separate rooms, and teaching acceptance to combat social isolation. Understanding and support from family, teachers, and the community can help those with TS lead productive lives.

Tic disorder DR MOHAMMAD ALKTIFAN
This document provides an overview of tic disorders, including epidemiology, etiology, diagnosis, classification, comorbidity, and treatment. It notes that tic disorders are characterized by sudden, rapid motor or vocal tics and affect 4-12% of children at some point in development. The causes are thought to involve genetic and neurobiological factors interacting with psychological influences. Diagnosis involves medical history and examination to rule out other conditions. Treatment includes psychoeducation, medication management, and addressing any comorbid disorders like ADHD or OCD.
Tourette's Syndrome
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.
The early symptoms of TS are typically
noticed first in childhood, with the average onset between the ages of 3 and 9
years. TS occurs in people from all ethnic groups; males are affected about
three to four times more often than females. It is estimated that 200,000
Americans have the most severe form of TS, and as many as one in 100 exhibit
milder and less complex symptoms such as chronic motor or vocal tics. Although
TS can be a chronic condition with symptoms lasting a lifetime, most people
with the condition experience their worst tic symptoms in their early teens,
with improvement occurring in the late teens and continuing into adulthood.
Tourette syndrome
Tourette syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics. Common motor tics include eye blinking, shoulder shrugging, and limb movements. Vocal tics can include sounds like throat clearing or complex tics like uttering words or phrases. The cause is unknown but may involve abnormalities in certain brain regions and neurotransmitters. While tics can sometimes be suppressed temporarily, they often reappear and can be accompanied by conditions like OCD or ADHD. There is no cure, but treatment options include medications and counseling.
The Development of Tourette syndrome in children
This document discusses Tourette syndrome, which is a disorder involving both vocal and motor tics that typically begins in childhood between ages 6-8. It affects boys more than girls and often disappears with age. While the cause is unknown, genetics may play a role. Many children with Tourette syndrome also have conditions like ADHD or OCD. The document reviews several studies on treatments for Tourette syndrome in children like topiramate, though more research is still needed.
Tic disorder
This document discusses tic disorders, including Tourette Syndrome. It describes the characteristics and symptoms of simple and complex motor and vocal tics. Tourette Syndrome is defined by the presence of multiple motor and vocal tics with onset before age 18 that have been present for over a year. The document discusses the pathophysiology involving dopamine dysfunction and potential genetic and environmental factors. Diagnostic criteria from the Tourette Syndrome Study Group and DSM-IV are provided. Prognosis is noted to be generally good, with marked improvement in tics occurring in late teens to early twenties for most patients.
Tourette's Syndrome PowerPoint
This document provides information about Tourette syndrome from a children's newsletter. It describes the characteristics of Tourette's such as vocal and motor tics. It discusses simple and complex tics as well as serious tics involving inappropriate words. It also outlines co-occurring conditions, possible causes, prevalence, diagnosis, treatment options, and accommodations that can help children with Tourette's in the classroom.
Tourette's Syndrome
Tourette's syndrome is a brain condition that causes involuntary vocal and motor tics. Vocal tics include sounds like throat clearing or animal noises, while motor tics involve movements of the eyes, tongue, head or other body parts. It is thought to have a genetic cause and may be linked to issues during pregnancy like lack of oxygen or stress. Doctors diagnose Tourette's based on symptoms and medical history, and treatment focuses on managing tics through medication or other methods.
Huntingtons Disease Melissa Thomas Psy492
Huntington's disease is a hereditary brain disorder caused by a mutated gene on chromosome 4. It is characterized by uncontrolled movements, cognitive decline, and behavioral changes. Symptoms typically appear between the ages of 30-50 and worsen over 10-20 years, ultimately leading to death. While there is no cure, various therapies can help manage symptoms and allow patients to live more comfortably. The disease has devastating emotional and psychological impacts not only on patients, but also their families.
Huntington's Disease
Huntington's disease is a genetic disorder that causes the degeneration of neurons in the brain. It affects muscle coordination and leads to cognitive and psychiatric decline. The disease is named after George Huntington, the doctor who first described it in 1872. It is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning there is a 50% chance of offspring inheriting the mutated gene. Common symptoms include involuntary movements called chorea, as well as issues with memory, speech, coordination and personality. The disease progresses over time and is ultimately fatal, though medication can help manage symptoms. There is currently no cure for Huntington's disease.
Huntington’s Disease
Huntington's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by a mutation on chromosome 4 that results in an elongated huntingtin protein. It is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern and usually strikes in middle age, causing movement, cognitive, and behavioral issues. There is no cure, but symptoms can be managed through medications. Future treatments focus on gene therapy to silence the mutated gene or neural transplantation, though mutant huntingtin may spread to transplanted tissue.
Huntingto1
Huntington's disease is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by a mutation on the Huntingtin gene that results in an abnormal expansion of CAG nucleotide repeats, producing a mutant Huntingtin protein (mHtt). The mHtt protein is toxic to medium spiny neurons in the striatum, causing their degeneration. Symptoms include chorea, cognitive decline, psychiatric problems, and loss of motor control. There is no cure, but treatments can help manage symptoms. The pathophysiology is not fully understood, but mHtt aggregation, transcriptional dysregulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and apoptosis may all contribute to neuronal cell death over time.

Huntington's disease
Huntington's disease is a genetic disorder caused by inheriting a defective gene, which results in the gradual destruction of neurons over time. The defective gene can be passed down from parent to child, with the child having a 50% chance of inheriting it if a parent has the gene. Symptoms appear between ages 30-50 and include fidgeting, twitching, clumsiness, memory loss, depression, and problems with movement and coordination. Huntington's affects both the mind and body as the disease progresses. While there is no cure, medications can help control movement and emotional symptoms.

Tourettes
Tourette's is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics that last for more than one year. It affects males more than females and is caused by an imbalance of neurotransmitters in the brain like dopamine. Symptoms vary from mild to severe and include both motor and verbal tics. Doctors diagnose Tourette's through observing symptoms and patient history as no medical tests can identify it. While there is no cure, medications can help control symptoms.
Tourettes
Tourettes is a disorder characterized by motor tics like eye blinking or vocal tics like throat clearing that are not under voluntary control and occur several times a day, along with potential inappropriate behaviors. Treatment options include drugs that affect brain chemistry to suppress severe symptoms and counseling to help cope with problems. It occurs in about 4-5 per 10,000 people and can cause educational challenges as children with Tourettes are sometimes teased for their tics or have trouble with tasks like reading or math.
Caterpillar
The document summarizes the sequence of events in the children's story "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle. It explains that all stories have a beginning, middle, and end. For this story, the beginning involves an egg hatching and the caterpillar being born on Sunday. In the middle, the caterpillar eats large amounts of food every day until the next Sunday. By the end, the caterpillar has eaten so much it becomes a big caterpillar, builds a cocoon, and emerges from it as a beautiful butterfly after staying inside for weeks.

Today, cupcakes come in many flavors, shapes, and decorations and have become a popular pop culture trend with bakeries and media dedicated to them.
Succession “Losers”: What Happens to Executives Passed Over for the CEO Job?
Succession “Losers”: What Happens to Executives Passed Over for the CEO Job? Stanford GSB Corporate Governance Research Initiative
This document summarizes a study of CEO succession events among the largest 100 U.S. corporations between 2005-2015. The study analyzed executives who were passed over for the CEO role ("succession losers") and their subsequent careers. It found that 74% of passed over executives left their companies, with 30% eventually becoming CEOs elsewhere. However, companies led by succession losers saw average stock price declines of 13% over 3 years, compared to gains for companies whose CEO selections remained unchanged. The findings suggest that boards generally identify the most qualified CEO candidates, though differences between internal and external hires complicate comparisons.Viewers also liked (9)

Tourettes
Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary tics and vocalizations. The cause involves the abnormal metabolism of the neurotransmitter dopamine in the brain. In 1825, the first case was described involving involuntary movements and vocalizations. TS onset is typically before age 18 and symptoms fluctuate over time. While there is no cure, medication and other therapies can help manage symptoms when they interfere with functioning. Genetic studies show TS is inherited as a dominant gene with varying expression in family members.
Gilles De La Tourette Syndrome
This poem provides insight into living with Tourette syndrome from the perspective of a child with the disorder. It describes how children with Tourette syndrome experience a range of emotions and sometimes get teased due to their tics, which can include involuntary movements and vocalizations. However, the poem emphasizes that the disorder was not chosen by the children but rather "chosen" them, in order to promote understanding from others about the involuntary nature of the symptoms. The poem aims to help others remember that the tics associated with Tourette syndrome are not intentional actions by those who live with the neurological condition.
Tourettes Review
The document summarizes age-related changes in Tourette syndrome. It describes how the syndrome is characterized by motor and vocal tics that typically begin in childhood between 6-7 years of age and worsen during the teen years. For most people, tic severity lessens as they reach adulthood, though a small percentage continue to experience tics into adulthood. The document also outlines diagnostic criteria and treatments, though there is no known cure currently.

Tourette syndrome is a complex nervous system disorder characterized by involuntary tics that usually begin in childhood between ages 6-8. Studies show the syndrome is more common in boys and often disappears by adulthood. While the cause is unknown, genetics may play a role. Treatments aim to manage tics and associated disorders like ADHD or OCD when tics interfere with daily life. Further high-quality research is still needed to better understand Tourette syndrome and potential treatments.
Tics
Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neurological disorder characterized by repetitive, stereotyped, involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics. It typically emerges in childhood between 5-8 years of age. TS is associated with other conditions like obsessive-compulsive disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Treatment involves pharmacotherapy with antipsychotics or clonidine to reduce tics as well as cognitive behavioral therapy. Deep brain stimulation is reserved for severe, treatment-resistant cases. While tics often improve in late adolescence, TS can persist into adulthood.

Tourette's syndrome
Tourette's syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by both motor and vocal tics. While the exact cause is unknown, it is thought to involve abnormalities in certain brain regions and there is a genetic component. The signs and symptoms usually first appear in children before age 18, most often between ages 5-7, with tics occurring in the head or neck area and ranging from simple to complex movements or vocalizations. There is no cure for Tourette's syndrome, but symptoms typically improve in late adolescence or early adulthood, and medication or therapy can help minimize tics.
Tourette’s
Tourette's syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary movements and vocalizations that last over a year. The exact causes are unknown but may involve abnormal brain activity or chemical imbalances in the brain. Common signs and symptoms include eye blinking, head jerking, shoulder shrugging, facial grimacing, throat clearing, yelping, jumping, making random noises, and smelling. A diagnosis is made based on observation and evaluation as there are no formal tests, though scans and tests may rule out other conditions. While most cases do not require medication, treatment options include medication, counseling, and psychotherapy.

This document discusses Tourette Syndrome, a neurobiological disorder that the author's younger sister has. It begins by describing her sister's symptoms from childhood tics to inappropriate words as she grew older. It then explains the mechanisms in the brain involved, focusing on dysfunction in the thalamus, basal ganglia and frontal cortex. Circuits connecting these areas are implicated in causing involuntary movements. The document concludes by noting there are no diagnostic tests, and treatment typically involves medications to suppress tics, though these can have side effects.

Tourette syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics. It typically emerges between ages 2-12 and is more common in males. The tics can range from mild to severe and may involve blinking, shoulder shrugging, or involuntary words. While the exact causes are unknown, genetics and imbalances of neurotransmitters like dopamine are thought to play a role. There is no cure, but treatment aims to control tics and may include medications that target dopamine or Botox injections for vocal tics.

Tourettes
- 2. What is Tourette syndrome? A disorder characterized by recurring and involuntary movements or sounds called tics. There are two types of tics: motor and vocal. Motor tics are uncontrolled body movements and vocal tics are outbursts of sound. In 1886, a French physician named Gilles de la Tourrete discovered Tourette syndrome.
- 3. Other Names TS Tourette's syndrome Gilles de la Tourette's Syndrome (GTS)
- 4. Mode of Inheritance Scientists believe that tics may result from changes in brain chemicals called neurotransmitters that are responsible for producing and controlling voluntary movements. Mutations involving the SLITRK1 gene on chromosome 13 have been identified in a small number of people with Tourette syndrome. Mutations have been reported in so few people with this condition that the association of the SLITRK1 gene has not been confirmed. Tourette’s may not even be a hereditary condition.
- 5. May Also Cause Deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) Obsessive- compulsive disorder (OCD) Anxiety Depression Mood swings Sleep problems
- 6. Rate of Incidence Precise incidence is unsure, but it approximately affects 1 to 10 in 1,000 children. It affects populations and ethnic groups globally. More common in males than in females.
- 7. Symptoms Tics can be simple or complex. Symptoms of simple motor tics: eye blinking, facial expressions expressing disgust, shoulder shrugging, and head jerking. Symptoms of simple vocal tics: repetitive throat- clearing, sniffing, or grunting sounds. Symptoms of complex motor tics: facial grimacing preceded by head jerking and a shoulder shrug, sniffing or touching objects, jumping, bending, twisting, and punching a person’s face. Symptoms of complex vocal tics: coprolalia (saying profane words) and echolalia (repetition of words or phrases of other people).
- 9. Progression Tics usually appear in childhood. Experience peak tic severity before the mid-teen years with improvement in the late teen years and early adulthood. Disorder is generally lifelong. Not life threatening; normal life expectancy.
- 10. Treatment Most people do not need medication for tic suppression. If the person is suffering from severe TS, there are medications to help such as Neuroleptics (used to treat psychotic and non-psychotic disorders). i.e. blocks receptors such as dopamine. Other medications such as clonidine and guanfacine (used for treating hypertension). There is no medication that will eradicate all the symptoms.
- 12. Detection Diagnosis is made after verifying that the patient has had both motor and vocal tics for at least 1 year. Existence of other neurological or psychiatric conditions can also help doctors arrive at a diagnosis. There are no blood, laboratory, or imaging tests needed for diagnosis. In rare cases, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computerized tomography (CT), and certain blood tests may be used to rule out other conditions that might be confused with TS.
