That's 30,000 people. Thirty thousand people shouting, "shit, motherfucker, goddamn, goddamn" in church. In court. In bowling alleys. "If I had Tourette's syndrome I'd know it, right?" I ask Levi-Pearl. "Would you know it if you had it?" she repeats. "You may go through life having a little involuntary movement and clearing your throat irregularly. 'Oh that's just David's habits.' Then you would see one of our public service announcements and say, 'That's me.'" We talk about children. "Kids that get diagnosed fairly early are lucky," Levi-Pearl says. "Parents realize what the child has instead of thinking they have brain tumors. Most children with classic Tourette's syndrome do quite well in mainstream education. There are those who have TS as well as learning and attention problems." She pauses. "In a third of cases there are varying degrees of obsessive traits." She looks across the table and smiles at Handler. "And by my even saying it, Lowell wants to do some stuff."

Login Directory Merchandise Contact Us ... Abstracts/Annual Meeting Publications Tourette's Syndrome and Dopamine Once dismissed as a behavior flaw, Tourette's syndrome is now known to be an inherited neurological disease. New research is mapping the chemical origin of the disorder characterized by tics, yelps and utterances. Advances may lead to improved treatments that can curb the disruptive symptoms without causing the harsh side effects often seen in today's remedies. A surgeon. A grocery store bagger. A professional athlete. A writer. A construction worker. Each experiences eruptions of tics - repeated, involuntary movements and uncontrollable utterances. Six nose twitches, three foot stomps, a series of eye blinks and a few neck stretches. Some hoot, bark, cough. Some swear. The diagnosis? Bad habits. Nervousness. Demonic possession. For years the affliction, now known as Tourette's syndrome (TS), was regarded as a "moral" disease. The prescription was a dose of internal will to stop. Then researchers discovered that a drug, haloperidol, which acts on the brain chemical dopamine, could calm the patient. This suggested that TS was a disorder rooted in altered brain chemistry. Now an increasing number of studies, including imaging research on humans, is providing clues on how dopamine and other factors mediate TS.

KidsHealth Teens Watching ice hockey and practicing with his band are Luke's favorite things to do. But when Luke goes someplace new, he often has to deal with stares and weird looks from strangers because he sometimes shouts unexpectedly or blinks his eyes hard. To people who don't know that these tics are symptoms of Luke's Tourette syndrome, he looks like he's in pain or needs help. Tics are sudden, repetitive movements or sounds that some people make, seemingly without realizing it. Tics are actually more common in teens than you might think. You may know someone who has either a motor tic (sudden, apparently uncontrollable movements like exaggerated blinking of the eyes) or a vocal tic (such as when a person repeatedly clears his or her throat). Many people have tics that go away in less than a year or mild tics that don't interfere with their lives. But in some people, tics are more severe or long lasting. If a person has tics for more than a year, doctors call this a chronic tic disorder . In some cases, these tics can be part of a condition called Tourette (pronounced: tuh-
