neurodevelopmental disorder, which manifests itself in childhood and is characterized by repetitive involuntary movements (tics) and characteristic vocalizations. This is an example of how dysfunction of brain modules and functional balance can affect motor and cognitive behavior. Neuropsychological characteristics of Tourette’s syndrome:
1) Executive functions: difficulty in voluntary control of movements or reactions, poor cognitive flexibility, and delayed automatic reactions.
2) Attention and motor concentration: Trouble maintaining attention on a particular task, difficulty coordinating movements, and cognitive planning due to an imbalance between the frontal lobe and basal ganglia.
3) Combination with other disorders: can coexist with emotional or educational disorders such as ADHD or OCD, increasing the difficulty of diagnosis and intervention.
