Figure 2From: Tics are caused by alterations in prefrontal areas, thalamus and putamen, while changes in the cingulate gyrus reflect secondary compensatory mechanismsGroup comparison of TS and normal controls. ADC results are superimposed on the mean of all subjects of spatially normalized anisotropy images. Voxels with a significant increase in ADC in TS patients versus controls were found in the white matter of the left inferior frontal and right medial frontal gyrus, the left cingulate gyrus, the left precentral gyrus, and the claustrum (p < 0.001, uncorrected).Back to article page
