First seen Jun 07, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 132 teenagers with Tourette syndrome to understand how their brains and thinking skills change during adolescence. Researchers used brain scans (MRI), magnetic pulses (TMS), and computer tests to measure brain connections, control, and decision-making. The goal was to learn why some teens get better while others don't, which could one day lead to better treatments.
