Scientists scan brains to unlock Tourette's sensory overload

This study aims to understand why many people with Tourette syndrome are overly sensitive to everyday sounds and touch, a condition called sensory over-responsivity. Researchers will recruit 50 adults with Tourette's to measure their brain activity and body responses while they listen to sounds and feel gentle touches. The goal is to find the brain and body signals linked to this distressing sensitivity, which could lead to better understanding and future treatments.
