Billie Eilish Reveals She Has Tourette Syndrome
Billie Eilish told David Letterman she has the neurological condition known as Tourette Syndrome. “I haven’t talked about it at all,” she told Letterman during an interview for his Netflix show, “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction.” She says she experiences sudden twitches caused by the condition. “I got diagnosed when I was 11,” she said. The topic came up after Eilish suddenly jerked during their conversation.

2-Minute Neuroscience: Tourette Syndrome
In this video, I discuss what is hypothesized to occur in the brain to cause Tourette syndrome, a disorder characterized by recurrent involuntary movements or sounds called tics.
For an article (on my website) that discusses Tourette syndrome more in-depth, click this link: https://neuroscientificallychallenged.com/posts/know-your-brain-tourette-syndrome
TRANSCRIPT:
Tourette syndrome is characterized by recurrent involuntary movements or sounds called tics. Tics can be classified as simple or complex. Simple tics usually involve only one group of muscles, and might consist of actions like eye blinking or throat clearing. Complex tics are more elaborate, and might involve actions like reaching out to touch something or the involuntary use of obscene language, which is known as coprolalia...

Tourette Syndrome: What Makes People Tic?
Tourette Syndrome in popular culture is often simplified to a poorly timed foul mouth, but that’s only a small part of the story—or sometimes not part of the story at all.

I have Tourette syndrome and here’s why I want you to laugh - Jess Thom | Comment is Free
Jess Thom’s tics from Tourette syndrome can be funny, but people often suppress their laughter for fear of causing offence. This, she says, shows how hard it can be to deal with people who are different from us. But by having an open conversation about disability and difference, she argues, the barriers between us become smaller.

Acting with Tourette's Syndrome
Acting is a discipline of discipline. Hit your marks, nail your lines — it's all about control and timing. Gardiner Comfort is an actor who was diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome as a child. For Comfort, it's all about owning his disorder. "When I'm acting I don't tic. It kind of just goes away and says, 'Go ahead and take a break, do what you love, and I'll be waiting for you when you come back.'''

In this video, I discuss what is hypothesized to occur in the brain to cause Tourette syndrome, a disorder characterized by recurrent involuntary movements or sounds called tics.
For an article (on my website) that discusses Tourette syndrome more in-depth, click this link: https://neuroscientificallychallenged.com/posts/know-your-brain-tourette-syndrome
TRANSCRIPT:
Tourette syndrome is characterized by recurrent involuntary movements or sounds called tics. Tics can be classified as simple or complex. Simple tics usually involve only one group of muscles, and might consist of actions like eye blinking or throat clearing. Complex tics are more elaborate, and might involve actions like reaching out to touch something or the involuntary use of obscene language, which is known as coprolalia. It’s worth noting that coprolalia, while often associated with Tourette syndrome, is actually thought to occur in less than 20% of cases.
The neuroscience of Tourette syndrome is still poorly understood, but a number of studies suggest an important role for a group of structures known as the basal ganglia, which includes the: caudate, putamen, globus pallidus, substantia nigra, and subthalamic nucleus. The basal ganglia are involved in diverse brain functions, but they are especially relevant to Tourette syndrome for their hypothesized role in suppressing unwanted actions.
According to this perspective, one function of basal ganglia circuitry is to inhibit neurons in the thalamus and prevent them from sending undesired movement-related signals to the motor cortex. In Tourette syndrome, it’s thought that faulty inhibitory mechanisms in the basal ganglia may fail to stop unwanted signals from reaching the cortex. This causes the execution of an action that the patient might prefer to suppress, forming the basis for tics. The failed inhibition in the basal ganglia is thought to be coupled with increased activity in motor pathways that generate movements. Thus, patients with Tourette’s might experience a problematic combination of high motor activity that generates habitual patterns of behavior, along with abnormally low inhibitory activity that would normally keep those behaviors from being acted out. More research needs to be done, however, to fully elucidate the neural circuitry underlying the disorder.

Tourette's syndrome is a neurological condition and disability which causes involuntary movements called tics. I use my platforms on social media such as TikTok, YouTube and Instagram to advocate and raise awareness for the condition and show what it is like living with a disability as a teen in school.
My name is Zara Beth (zeezee25 on tiktok) and I post videos about tics, tic disorders and what its like to be a teen living with Tourette's syndrome, Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and a seizure disorder (NEAD/NES).
I show what its like having tics and Tourettes in class and in school and college, vlog, and I also bake, do other challenges and answer all your questions in Q and A videos.
I am also an ambulatory wheelchair user so I show what life looks like using various mobility aids and how needs change from day to day!
I am also a musician! My newest release is my first single (original song) called "She's Mine" which is now available on all streaming services - I sing and play piano, guitar, ukulele and I write, produce, mix and master all my own songs and content myself!
