Two neuropsychological tasks will be<br /><br>performed in an fMRI environment (go/no-go and monetary reward anticipation)<br /><br>with another 4 tasks completed outside of the MRI environment (motor inhibition<br /><br>and cognitive flexibility, verbal working memory, motor speed, cognitive<br /><br>flexibility). Phenotyping will be done by semi-structured interview for the<br /><br>Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) and Children*s Yale-Brown Obsessive<br /><br>Compulsive Scale (CY-BOCS). ADHD symptoms will be assessed additionally by<br /><br>Conners questionnaire. </p><br>
