A graph theory study of resting-state functional connectivity in children with Tourette syndrome

Little is known about the brain's functional organization during resting-state in children with Tourette syndrome (TS). We aimed to investigate this with a specific focus on the role of comorbid attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We applied graph theoretical analysis to resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data of 109 8-to-12-year-old children with TS (n = 46), ADHD without tics (n = 23), and healthy controls (n =...
