In the first comprehensive, cell-by-cell analysis of brain tissue from individuals with Tourette syndrome, researchers have pinpointed exactly which cells are perturbed and how they malfunction, ...

The basal ganglia are a set of subcortical structures ... Dopaminergic medication and deep brain stimulation exert a shared therapeutic modulation of cortex-subthalamic nucleus network activity ...

“It is no use asking for the impossible, such as, say, the exact wiring diagram for a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and the way all its neurons are firing,” Crick wrote in Scientific America ...
