Abstract:
The putative relationship between a variety of neurologic and neuropsychiatric disorders, which have been reported in association with tics, is reviewed. Tics also may be increased or exacerbated by drugs affecting a variety of neurotransmitter systems. Recognition and study of these secondary tic disorders may further our understanding of basal ganglia physiology and the pathogenesis of Tourette syndrome.
