This study is funded by the Tourette Syndrome Association USA and evaluates a long-term potentiation-like property in children and adults with Tourette syndrome. We are using a new TMS technique to study brain changes related to learning in the motor system in children and adults with Tourette syndrome as well as healthy children and adults.

This innovative study uses low-intensity TMS to try to improve speech in patients who have lost speech function due to strokes.
Funding: NINDS: R01NS048281
Principle Investigator: Jerzy Szaflarski, MD, PhD, University of Cincinnati Neuroscience Institute
This study aims to measure and quantify abnormalities in the surface of the brain that may correspond to learning and behavioral problems that sometimes occur in children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1).
Funding: Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center pilot grant
This study uses localized TMS pulses to try to reduce anxiety in adolescents with obsessive compulsive disorder.
