A 15-year longitudinal study funded by NIMH to identify clinical and neuroimaging predictors of tic disorders in children, aiming to improve prognosis and treatment.
Description
This project aims to identify clinical and neuroimaging predictors of tic disorders, including Tourette syndrome, through a 15-year longitudinal study involving over 300 children. The study includes video recordings, clinical assessments, psychological data, and MRI scans. The research will analyze pre-onset features, early manifestations, and changes over time to improve prognosis and understand etiology and pathophysiology.
