There are many reasons why we should abandon the term "vocal tics" and replace it with "phonic tics". See the article we recently published: Baizabal-Carvallo JF, Jankovic J. Simple and Complex Phonic Tics in Tourette Syndrome. Brain Sci. 2025 Jun 8;15(6):620. PMID: 40563791. @PDCMDC @MichaelOkun

In our recent article we review evidence that GLP-1 agonists are beneficial in mouse models of AD and PD and that this class of drugs has emerged as promising therapy in these neurodegenerative disorders. PMID: 40344943 @PDCMDC @mds

I finally visited 1 Hoxton Square, London where James Parkinson was born on April 11, 1755 and where he practiced for 40 years. What a remarkable observer and scientist! @PDCMDC @movedisorder @MichaelOkun
