Motor cortical excitability during voluntary inhibition of involuntary tic movements

Conclusions: Voluntary inhibition of tics reduces the excitability of corticospinal output. The pattern of neurophysiological findings is consistent with a withdrawal of excitation, but not with modulation of the inhibitory interneuronal mechanisms involved in short ‐interval intracortical inhibition. © 2018 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society
