basal ganglia functional anatomy and physiology make it possible to hypothesize how specific neural mechanisms relate to manifestations of TS. Recent studies have shown a model of selection and suppression of competing behaviours by the basal ganglia circuits and on dopamine modulation of these circuits to provide the basis for basal ganglia dysfunction in TS.
