By Ian Williams

 The cause is unknown  Believed to be caused by abnormalities in certain brain regions (including the basal ganglia, frontal lobes, and cortex)  Believed to be transmitted genetically, but not confirmed

 Tourettes can be found among all people  There are no ethnic or racial boundaries  Men are three to four times more likely to have Tourettes  Generally presents in young children, under 18

 Affects basal ganglia, frontal lobes, and cortex  Also affects the neurotransmitters of these regions  Affects the dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine responsible for communication among nerves

 Tics  Vocalizations  Coprolalia (Less than 15%)  Echolalia

 Anyone with Tourettes will live a normal life  There are no negative effects on the lifespan  One well known person who had and died Tourettes was the “Tourettes Guy”  He died of a car crash however

 No known cure  Few treatments for tics  Antiseizure medications  Clonidine (Blood Pressure medication)  Botulinum toxin injections (can control some motor tics)  Dopamine blockers (can help control or reduce tics, but they have side effects)

 Brad Cohen  Teacher with vocal and muscle tics  Was turned down as a teacher multiple times  Was awarded the Sallie Mae First Class Teacher of the Year in 1997
