Neurological Disorder
Georges Giles de la Tourette in 1885 described 9 people who displayed the symptoms of tourettes. Tourettes was named in his honor.
It is diagnosed by observing symptoms and by evaluating the history of their onset. Rating scales are available for assesment of tic severity
The Symptoms: Facial tic, rapid eye blinking, twitches of the mouth. Involuntary sounds such as throat clearing and sniffing, or tics of the limbs may be initial signs. It is not contagious
The causes of TS have not been officially established. It stems from abnormal activity of dopamine and abnormal activity of the receptor.
