Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Abnormalities in neurotransmission within the cortico-striatal-thalamo-cortical circuitry are implicated in the pathogenesis of Tourette syndrome. Glutamate is a major excitatory neurotransmitter and an important member in the cortico-striatal-thalamo-cortical circuitry. To explore the role of glutamatergic neurotransmission in genetic susceptibility of Tourette syndrome, we carried out the genetic and...
