Abstract

Tic disorders and obsessive–compulsive disorder are highly comorbid neurodevelopmental disorders with overlapping neuropathology and symptomatology. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been used to probe the pathophysiology of these disorders in adults and children, and more recent research has tested the utility of TMS as an intervention tool. In the current chapter, we describe current models of disorder-specific neurocircuitry and highlight shared features of these conditions. Key findings from TMS neurophysiology and treatment studies are summarized, and limitations and future directions for TMS in these disorders are discussed.
