1. Clinical Trial: Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy to Evaluate Tourette s Syndrome
Clinical Trial: Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy to Evaluate Tourette s Syndrome This study will use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) of the brain to try to gain a better understanding of the disease process in Tourette's syndrome, a neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by motor and vocal tics. Tourette's syndrome is also associated with behavioral and emotional disturbances, including symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). MRI and MRS show chemical substances in the brain. Findings in normal volunteers will be compared with those of patients.

Florida Hospital is a 2,048-bed, acute-care health care, not-for-profit system serving Central Florida and much of the Southeast, the Caribbean and South America with a comprehensive network of physicians and facilities.

3. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT MAGNETIC RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY (MRS)
MRS is used to obtain information about chemical composition. MRS measurements are commonly made on chemical samples and tissues. In animals and humans a number of chemical concentrations can be obtained over a period of time. From this information, rates of change in specific metabolites can be determined.

4. MAGNETIC RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY - OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER:
Introduction - SPECT and PET studies have provided evidence that the orbitofrontal gyrus, the cingulate gyrus and the striatum may be part of the functional neuroanatomy of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). In these regions a pattern of symptom-related functional hyperactivity has been shown (Baxter 1995). Inadequate sensory information gating in the basal ganglia is believed to allow cortical inputs to capture and drive a self-sustaining loop. Therefore, it has been hypothesized that neuronal loss in one of the inhibitory pathways, e.g. the striatum, might account for the functional hyperactivity in the cortico-limbic loop.
