title: Pediatric Tourette syndrome: insights from recent neuroimaging studies.
abstract: Tourette syndrome has been examined using many different neuroimaging techniques. There has been a recent surge of neuroimaging research papers related to Tourette syndrome that are exploring many different aspects of the disorder and its comorbidities. This brief review focuses on recent MRI-based imaging studies of pediatric Tourette syndrome, including anatomical, functional, resting state, and diffusion tensor MRI techniques. Consistencies across studies are explored, and particularly important issues involved in acquiring data from this special population are discussed.
