Overview

Brief Summary

The study intends to evaluate the role of Mirror Neurons in the determination of gestures, words, and repetitive vocalizations in subjects affected by Tourette's syndrome and to verify if these subjects are faster to assemble sounds, in phonology and morphology, than the non-pathological population.
