Abstract
BACKGROUND Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the thalamus can effectively reduce tics in severely affected patients with Tourette syndrome (TS). Its effect on cortical oscillatory activity is currently unknown. OBJECTIVE We assessed whether DBS modulates beta activity at fronto-central electrodes. We explored concurrent EEG sources and probabilistic stimulation maps. METHODS Resting state EEG of TS patients treated with thalamic DBS was recorded in repeated DBS-on and DBS-off states. A mixed linear model was employed for statistical evaluation. EEG sources were estimated with eLORETA. Thalamic probabilistic stimulation maps were obtained by assigning beta power difference scores (DBS-on minus DBS-off) to stimulation sites. RESULTS We observed increased beta power in DBS-on compared to DBS-off states. Modulation of cortical beta activity was localized to the midcingulate cortex. Beta modulation was more pronounced when stimulating the thalamus posteriorly, peaking in the ventral posterior nucleus. CONCLUSION Thalamic DBS in TS patients modulates beta frequency oscillations presumably important for sensorimotor function and relevant to TS pathophysiology.

Abstract
When choosing between rewards that differ in temporal proximity (intertemporal choice), human preferences are typically stable, constituting a clinically relevant transdiagnostic trait. Here we show, in female and male human patients undergoing deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the anterior limb of the internal capsule/NAcc region for treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder, that long-term chronic (but not phasic) DBS disrupts intertemporal preferences. Hierarchical Bayesian modeling accounting for temporal discounting behavior across multiple time points allowed us to assess both short-term and long-term reliability of intertemporal choice. In controls, temporal discounting was highly reliable, both long-term (6 months) and short-term (1 week). In contrast, in patients undergoing DBS, short-term reliability was high, but long-term reliability (6 months) was severely disrupted. Control analyses confirmed that this effect was not because of range restriction, the presence of obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms or group differences in choice stochasticity. Model-agnostic between- and within-subject analyses confirmed this effect. These findings provide initial evidence for long-term modulation of cognitive function via DBS and highlight a potential contribution of the human NAcc region to intertemporal preference stability over time.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Choosing between rewards that differ in temporal proximity is in part a stable trait with relevance for many mental disorders, and depends on prefrontal regions and regions of the dopamine system. Here we show that chronic deep brain stimulation of the human anterior limb of the internal capsule/NAcc region for treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder disrupts the stability of intertemporal preferences. These findings show that chronic stimulation of one of the brain's central motivational hubs can disrupt preferences thought to depend on this circuit.

Abstract
The occurrence of tics in Tourette syndrome (TS) has often been linked to impaired cognitive control, but empirical findings are still inconclusive. A recent view proposes that tics may be the result of an abnormally strong interrelation between perceptual processes and motor actions, commonly referred to as perception-action binding. The general aim of the present study was to examine proactive control and binding effects in the context of task switching in adult human patients with TS and matched healthy controls. A cued task switching paradigm was employed in 24 patients (18 male, 6 female) and 25 controls while recording electroencephalography (EEG). Residue iteration decomposition (RIDE) was applied to analyze cue-locked proactive cognitive control and target-locked binding processes. Behavioral task switching performance was unaltered in patients with TS. A cue-locked parietal switch positivity, reflecting proactive control processes involved in the reconfiguration of the new task did not differ between groups. Importantly, target-locked fronto-central (N2) and parietal (P3) modulations, reflecting binding processes between perception and action, differed between groups. Underlying neurophysiological processes were best depicted after temporal decomposition of the EEG signal. The present results argue for unaltered proactive control but altered perception-action binding processes in the context of task switching, supporting the view that the integration of perception and action is processed differently in patients TS. Future studies should further investigate the specific conditions under which binding may be altered in TS and the influence of top-down processes, such as proactive control, on bindings.Significance statementThe origin of tics in Tourette syndrome is still poorly understood. Based on the phenomenon of the premonitory urge, it has recently been proposed that tics may be the result of an abnormally strong interrelation between perceptual processes and motor actions, i.e., increased perception-action binding. In the present study, we investigated binding effects in the context of a task switching paradigm using EEG to determine underlying neurophysiological mechanisms. Our results suggest that fronto-central (N2) and parietal (P3) activity are differentially modulated by binding between perception and action in patients with Tourette syndrome, supporting the view that the integration of perception and action is processed differently and may relate to the core symptoms of the disorder, urges and tics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Deep brain stimulation of the anterior limb of the internal capsule (ALIC)/nucleus accumbens is an effective treatment in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder but may increase impulsive behavior. We aimed to investigate how active stimulation alters subdomains of impulsive decision making and whether respective effects depend on the location of stimulation sites. METHODS We assessed 15 participants with obsessive-compulsive disorder performing the Cambridge Gambling Task during active and inactive ALIC/nucleus accumbens deep brain stimulation. Specifically, we determined stimulation-induced changes in risk adjustment and delay aversion. To characterize underlying neural pathways, we computed probabilistic stimulation maps and applied fiber filtering based on normative structural connectivity data to identify "hot" and "cold" spots/fibers related to changes in impulsive decision making. RESULTS Active stimulation significantly reduced risk adjustment while increasing delay aversion, both implying increased impulsive decision making. Changes in risk adjustment were robustly associated with stimulation sites located in the central ALIC and fibers connecting the thalamus and subthalamic nucleus with the medial and lateral prefrontal cortex. Both hot spots and fibers for changes in risk adjustment were robust to leave-one-out cross-validation. Changes in delay aversion were similarly associated with central ALIC stimulation, but validation hereof was nonsignificant. CONCLUSIONS Our findings provide experimental evidence that ALIC/nucleus accumbens stimulation increases impulsive decision making in obsessive-compulsive disorder. We show that changes in risk adjustment depend on the location of stimulation volumes and affected fiber bundles. The relationship between impulsive decision making and long-term clinical outcomes requires further investigation.

Abstract
Preliminary data suggest that cannabis-based medicines might be a promising new treatment for patients with Tourette syndrome (TS)/chronic tic disorders (CTD) resulting in an improvement of tics, comorbidities, and quality of life. This randomized, multicenter, placebo-controlled, phase IIIb study aimed to examine efficacy and safety of the cannabis extract nabiximols in adults with TS/CTD (n = 97, randomized 2:1 to nabiximols:placebo). The primary efficacy endpoint was defined as a tic reduction of ≥ 25% according to the Total Tic Score of the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale after 13 weeks of treatment. Although a much larger number of patients in the nabiximols compared to the placebo group (14/64 (21·9%) vs. 3/33 (9·1%)) met the responder criterion, superiority of nabiximols could formally not be demonstrated. In secondary analyses, substantial trends for improvements of tics, depression, and quality of life were observed. Additionally exploratory subgroup analyses revealed an improvement of tics in particular in males, patients with more severe tics, and patients with comorbid attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder suggesting that these subgroups may benefit better from treatment with cannabis-based medication. There were no relevant safety issues. Our data further support the role of cannabinoids in the treatment of patients with chronic tic disorders.

Abstract
In 2011 the European Society for the Study of Tourette Syndrome (ESSTS) published its first European clinical guidelines for the treatment of Tourette Syndrome (TS) with part IV on deep brain stimulation (DBS). Here, we present a revised version of these guidelines with updated recommendations based on the current literature covering the last decade as well as a survey among ESSTS experts. Currently, data from the International Tourette DBS Registry and Database, two meta-analyses, and eight randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are available. Interpretation of outcomes is limited by small sample sizes and short follow-up periods. Compared to open uncontrolled case studies, RCTs report less favorable outcomes with conflicting results. This could be related to several different aspects including methodological issues, but also substantial placebo effects. These guidelines, therefore, not only present currently available data from open and controlled studies, but also include expert knowledge. Although the overall database has increased in size since 2011, definite conclusions regarding the efficacy and tolerability of DBS in TS are still open to debate. Therefore, we continue to consider DBS for TS as an experimental treatment that should be used only in carefully selected, severely affected and otherwise treatment-resistant patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effects of subthalamic stimulation (subthalamic nucleus-deep brain stimulation, STN-DBS) on impulsive and compulsive behaviours (ICB) in Parkinson's disease (PD) are understudied. OBJECTIVE To investigate clinical predictors of STN-DBS effects on ICB. METHODS In this prospective, open-label, multicentre study in patients with PD undergoing bilateral STN-DBS, we assessed patients preoperatively and at 6-month follow-up postoperatively. Clinical scales included the Questionnaire for Impulsive-Compulsive Disorders in PD-Rating Scale (QUIP-RS), PD Questionnaire-8, Non-Motor Symptom Scale (NMSS), Unified PD Rating Scale in addition to levodopa-equivalent daily dose total (LEDD-total) and dopamine agonists (LEDD-DA). Changes at follow-up were analysed with Wilcoxon signed-rank test and corrected for multiple comparisons (Bonferroni method). We explored predictors of QUIP-RS changes using correlations and linear regressions. Finally, we dichotomised patients into 'QUIP-RS improvement or worsening' and analysed between-group differences. RESULTS We included 55 patients aged 61.7 years±8.4 with 9.8 years±4.6 PD duration. QUIP-RS cut-offs and psychiatric assessments identified patients with preoperative ICB. In patients with ICB, QUIP-RS improved significantly. However, we observed considerable interindividual variability of clinically relevant QUIP-RS outcomes as 27.3% experienced worsening and 29.1% an improvement. In post hoc analyses, higher baseline QUIP-RS and lower baseline LEDD-DA were associated with greater QUIP-RS improvements. Additionally, the 'QUIP-RS worsening' group had more severe baseline impairment in the NMSS attention/memory domain. CONCLUSIONS Our results show favourable ICB outcomes in patients with higher preoperative ICB severity and lower preoperative DA doses, and worse outcomes in patients with more severe baseline attention/memory deficits. These findings emphasise the need for comprehensive non-motor and motor symptoms assessments in patients undergoing STN-DBS. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER DRKS00006735.

Abstract
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is among the most disabling psychiatric disorders. Although deep brain stimulation is considered an effective treatment, its use in clinical practice is not fully established. This is, at least in part, due to ambiguity about the best suited target and insufficient knowledge about underlying mechanisms. Recent advances suggest that changes in broader brain networks are responsible for improvement of obsessions and compulsions, rather than local impact at the stimulation site. These findings were fueled by innovative methodological approaches using brain connectivity analyses in combination with neuromodulatory interventions. Such a connectomic approach for neuromodulation constitutes an integrative account that aims to characterize optimal target networks. In this critical review, we integrate findings from connectomic studies and deep brain stimulation interventions to characterize a neural network presumably effective in reducing obsessions and compulsions. To this end, we scrutinize methodologies and seemingly conflicting findings with the aim to merge observations to identify common and diverse pathways for treating obsessive-compulsive disorder. Ultimately, we propose a unified network that-when modulated by means of cortical or subcortical interventions-alleviates obsessive-compulsive symptoms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric disorder with alterations of cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical loops and impaired performance monitoring. Electrophysiological markers such as conflict-related medial frontal theta (MFT) and error-related negativity (ERN) may be altered by clinically effective deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the anterior limb of the internal capsule and nucleus accumbens (ALIC/NAc). We hypothesized that ALIC/NAc DBS modulates electrophysiological performance monitoring markers. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifteen patients (six male) with otherwise treatment-refractory OCD receiving ALIC/NAc DBS performed a flanker task with EEG recordings at three sessions: presurgery, and at follow-up with DBS on and off. We examined MFT, ERN, and task performance. Furthermore, we investigated interrelations with clinical efficacy and the explored the influence of the location of individual stimulation volumes on EEG modulations. RESULTS MFT and ERN were significantly attenuated by DBS with differences most pronounced between presurgery and DBS-on states. Also, we observed reaction time slowing for erroneous responses during DBS-off. Larger presurgery ERN amplitudes were associated with decreased clinical efficacy. Exploratory anatomical analyses suggested that stimulation volumes encompassing the NAc were associated with MFT modulation, whereas ALIC stimulation was associated with modulation of the ERN and clinical efficacy. CONCLUSION ALIC/NAc DBS diminished MFT and ERN, demonstrating modulation of the medial frontal performance monitoring system in OCD. Furthermore, our findings encourage further studies to explore the ERN as a potential predictor for clinical efficacy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is still a lack of controlled studies to prove efficacy of thalamic deep brain stimulation for Tourette's Syndrome. OBJECTIVES In this controlled trial, we investigated the course of tic severity, comorbidities and quality of life during thalamic stimulation and whether changes in tic severity can be assigned to ongoing compared to sham stimulation. METHODS We included eight adult patients with medically refractory Tourette's syndrome. Bilateral electrodes were implanted in the centromedian-parafascicular-complex and the nucleus ventro-oralis internus. Tic severity, quality of life and comorbidities were assessed before surgery as well as six and twelve months after. Short randomized, double-blinded sham-controlled crossover sequences with either active or sham stimulation were implemented at both six- and twelve-months' assessments. The primary outcome measurement was the difference in the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale tic score between active and sham stimulation. Adverse events were systematically surveyed for all patients to evaluate safety. RESULTS Active stimulation resulted in significantly higher tic reductions than sham stimulation (F = 79.5; p = 0.001). Overall quality of life and comorbidities improved significantly in the open-label-phase. Over the course of the trial two severe adverse events occurred that were resolved without sequelae. CONCLUSION Our results provide evidence that thalamic stimulation is effective in improving tic severity and overall quality of life. Crucially, the reduction of tic severity was primarily driven by active stimulation. Further research may focus on improving stimulation protocols and refining patient selection to improve efficacy and safety of deep brain stimulation for Tourette's Syndrome.

Abstract
Theta phase coherence is increased following negative performance feedback. Deep brain stimulation globally modulates theta phase coherence. Fronto-striatal connectivity is related to OCD symptom severity.
Background Symptoms of obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) are partly related to impaired cognitive control processes and theta modulations constitute an important electrophysiological marker for cognitive control processes such as signaling negative performance feedback in a fronto-striatal network. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) targeting the anterior limb of the internal capsule (ALIC)/nucleus accumbens (NAc) shows clinical efficacy in OCD, while the exact influence on the performance monitoring system remains largely unknown. Methods Seventeen patients with treatment-refractory OCD performed a probabilistic reinforcement learning task. Analyses were focused on 4–8 Hz (theta) power, intertrial phase coherence (ITPC) and debiased weighted Phase-Lag Index (dwPLI) in response to negative performance feedback. Combined EEG and local field potential (LFP) recordings were obtained shortly after DBS electrode implantation to investigate fronto-striatal network modulations. To assess the impact of clinically effective DBS on negative performance feedback modulations, EEG recordings were obtained pre-surgery and at follow-up with DBS on and off. Results Medial frontal cortex ITPC, striatal ITPC and striato-frontal dwPLI were increased following negative performance feedback. Decreased right-lateralized dwPLI was associated with pre-surgery symptom severity. ITPC was globally decreased during DBS-off. Conclusion We observed a theta phase coherence mediated fronto-striatal performance monitoring network. Within this network, decreased connectivity was related to increased OCD symptomatology, consistent with the idea of impaired cognitive control in OCD. While ALIC/NAc DBS decreased theta network activity globally, this effect was unrelated to clinical efficacy and performance monitoring.

Abstract
Tourette syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder associated with hyperactivity in dopaminergic networks. Dopaminergic hyperactivity in the basal ganglia has previously been linked to increased sensitivity to positive reinforcement and increases in choice impulsivity. In this study, we examine whether this extends to changes in temporal discounting, where impulsivity is operationalized as an increased preference for smaller-but-sooner over larger-but-later rewards. We assessed intertemporal choice in two studies including nineteen adolescents (age: mean[sd] = 14.21[±2.37], 13 male subjects) and twenty-five adult patients (age: mean[sd] = 29.88 [±9.03]; 19 male subjects) with Tourette syndrome and healthy age- and education matched controls. Computational modeling using exponential and hyperbolic discounting models via hierarchical Bayesian parameter estimation revealed reduced temporal discounting in adolescent patients, and no evidence for differences in adult patients. Results are discussed with respect to neural models of temporal discounting, dopaminergic alterations in Tourette syndrome and the developmental trajectory of temporal discounting. Specifically, adolescents might show attenuated discounting due to improved inhibitory functions that also affect choice impulsivity and/or the developmental trajectory of executive control functions. Future studies would benefit from a longitudinal approach to further elucidate the developmental trajectory of these effects.

Abstract
For successful goal-directed behavior, a performance monitoring system is essential. It detects behavioral errors and initiates behavioral adaptations to improve performance. Two electrophysiological potentials are known to follow errors in reaction time tasks: the error-related negativity (ERN), which is linked to error processing, and the error positivity (Pe), which is associated with subjective error awareness. Furthermore, the correct-related negativity (CRN) is linked to uncertainty about the response outcome. Here we attempted to identify the involvement of the nucleus accumbens (NAc) in the aforementioned performance monitoring processes. To this end, we simultaneously recorded cortical activity (EEG) and local field potentials (LFP) during a flanker task performed by four patients with severe opioid abuse disorder who underwent electrode implantation in the NAc for deep brain stimulation. We observed significant accuracy-related modulations in the LFPs at the time of the ERN/CRN in two patients and at the time of Pe in three patients. These modulations correlated with the ERN in 2/8, with CRN in 5/8 and with Pe in 6/8, recorded channels, respectively. Our results demonstrate the functional interrelation of striatal and cortical processes in performance monitoring specifically related to error processing and subjective error awareness.

Abstract
Since 1999, several targets for deep brain stimulation (DBS) in Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS) have emerged showing similar success rates. Studies using different tractography techniques have identified connectivity profiles associated with a better outcome for individual targets. However, GTS patients might need individualized therapy. The objective of this study is to analyze the connectivity profile of different DBS targets for GTS. We identified standard target coordinates for the centromedian nucleus/nucleus ventro-oralis internus (CM/Voi), the CM/parafascicular (CM-Pf) complex, the anteromedial globus pallidus internus (amGPi), the posteroventral GPi (pvGPi), the ventral anterior/ventrolateral thalamus (VA/VL), and the nucleus accumbens/anterior limb of the internal capsule (Nacc/ALIC). Probabilistic tractography was performed from the targets to different limbic and motor areas based on patient-specific imaging and a normative connectome (HCP). Our analysis showed significant differences between the connectivity profiles of standard DBS targets (p < 0.05). Among all targets, the pvGPi showed the strongest connection to the sensorimotor cortex, while the amGPi showed the strongest connection to the prefrontal cortex in patient-specific imaging. Differences were observed between the connectivity profiles when using probabilistic tractography based on patient data and HCP. Our findings showed that the connectivity profiles of different DBS targets to major motor and limbic areas differ significantly. In the future, these differences may be considered when planning DBS for GTS patients employing an individualized approach. There were compelling differences in connectivity profiles when using different tractography techniques.

Abstract
Deep brain stimulation may be an effective therapy for select cases of severe, treatment-refractory Tourette syndrome; however, patient responses are variable, and there are no reliable methods to predict clinical outcomes. The objectives of this retrospective study were to identify the stimulation-dependent structural networks associated with improvements in tics and comorbid obsessive-compulsive behaviour, compare the networks across surgical targets, and determine if connectivity could be used to predict clinical outcomes. Volumes of tissue activated for a large multisite cohort of patients (n = 66) implanted bilaterally in globus pallidus internus (n = 34) or centromedial thalamus (n = 32) were used to generate probabilistic tractography to form a normative structural connectome. The tractography maps were used to identify networks that were correlated with improvement in tics or comorbid obsessive-compulsive behaviour and to predict clinical outcomes across the cohort. The correlated networks were then used to generate 'reverse' tractography to parcellate the total volume of stimulation across all patients to identify local regions to target or avoid. The results showed that for globus pallidus internus, connectivity to limbic networks, associative networks, caudate, thalamus, and cerebellum was positively correlated with improvement in tics; the model predicted clinical improvement scores (P = 0.003) and was robust to cross-validation. Regions near the anteromedial pallidum exhibited higher connectivity to the positively correlated networks than posteroventral pallidum, and volume of tissue activated overlap with this map was significantly correlated with tic improvement (P < 0.017). For centromedial thalamus, connectivity to sensorimotor networks, parietal-temporal-occipital networks, putamen, and cerebellum was positively correlated with tic improvement; the model predicted clinical improvement scores (P = 0.012) and was robust to cross-validation. Regions in the anterior/lateral centromedial thalamus exhibited higher connectivity to the positively correlated networks, but volume of tissue activated overlap with this map did not predict improvement (P > 0.23). For obsessive-compulsive behaviour, both targets showed that connectivity to the prefrontal cortex, orbitofrontal cortex, and cingulate cortex was positively correlated with improvement; however, only the centromedial thalamus maps predicted clinical outcomes across the cohort (P = 0.034), but the model was not robust to cross-validation. Collectively, the results demonstrate that the structural connectivity of the site of stimulation are likely important for mediating symptom improvement, and the networks involved in tic improvement may differ across surgical targets. These networks provide important insight on potential mechanisms and could be used to guide lead placement and stimulation parameter selection, as well as refine targets for neuromodulation therapies for Tourette syndrome.

Abstract
Recent translational data suggest that deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical (CSTC) loops improves sensorimotor gating in psychiatric disorders that show deficient prepulse inhibition (PPI), a robust operational measure of sensorimotor gating. To our knowledge we are the first to investigate this effect in patients with Tourette syndrome (TS). We measured PPI of the acoustic startle reflex in patients with TS (N = 10) or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) (N = 8) treated with DBS of the centromedian and ventro-oral internal thalamic nucleus and the anterior limb of internal capsule-nucleus accumbens area respectively, and aged- and gender-matched healthy controls (HC). PPI of the DBS groups was measured in randomized order in the ON and OFF stimulation condition. Statistical analysis revealed no significant difference in PPI (%) of patients with TS between ON (M = 20.5, SD = 14.9) and OFF (M = 25.2, SD = 29.7) condition. There were significantly reduced PPI levels in patients with TS in the ON condition compared to HC (M = 49.2, SD = 10.7), but no significant difference in PPI between TS in the OFF condition and HC. Furthermore, we found no significant stimulation or group effect for OCD and HC (OCD ON: M = 57.0, SD = 8.3; OCD OFF: 67.8, SD = 19.6; HC: M = 63.0, SD = 24.3). Our study has a number of limitations. Sample sizes are small due to the restricted patient collective. The study was not controlled for use of psychoactive medication or nicotine. Furthermore, we were not able to assess presurgical PPI measurements. In conclusion, we were able to show that PPI is impaired in patients with TS. This finding is in line with recent translational work. With respect to the OCD cohort we were not able to replicate our previously published data. A disability in sensorimotor gating plays a pivotal role in many psychiatric disorders therefore more research should be conducted to disentangle the potential and limitations of modulating sensorimotor gating via brain stimulation techniques.

Abstract
Closed-loop neuromodulation is presumed to be the logical evolution for improving the effectiveness of deep brain stimulation (DBS) treatment protocols (Widge et al., 2018). Identifying symptom-relevant biomarkers that provide meaningful feedback to stimulator devices is an important initial step in this direction. This report demonstrates a technique for assaying neural circuitry hypothesized to contribute to OCD and DBS treatment outcomes. We computed phase-lag connectivity between LFPs and EEGs in thirteen treatment-refractory OCD patients. Simultaneous recordings from scalp EEG and externalized DBS electrodes in the ventral capsule/ventral striatum (VC/VS) were collected at rest during the perioperative treatment stage. Connectivity strength between midfrontal EEG sensors and VC/VS electrodes correlated with baseline OCD symptoms and 12-month posttreatment OCD symptoms. Results are qualified by a relatively small sample size, and limitations regarding the conclusiveness of VS and mPFC as neural generators given some concerns about volume conduction. Nonetheless, findings are consistent with treatment-relevant tractography findings and theories that link frontostriatal hyperconnectivity to the etiopathogenesis of OCD. Findings support the continued investigation of connectivity-based assays for aiding in determination of optimal stimulation location, and are an initial step towards the identification of biomarkers that can guide closed-loop neuromodulation systems.

Abstract
Probabilistic tractography in Tourette syndrome (TS) patients have shown an alteration in the connectivity of the primary motor cortex and supplementary motor area with the striatum and thalamus, suggesting an abnormal connectivity of the cortico-striatum-thalamocortical-pathways in TS. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the centromedian nucleus–nucleus ventrooralis internus (CM-Voi complex) in the thalamus is an effective treatment for refractory TS patients. We investigated the connectivity of activated fibers from CM-Voi to the motor cortex and its correlation between these projections and their clinical outcome. Seven patients with TS underwent CM-Voi-DBS surgery and were clinically evaluated preoperatively and six months postoperatively. We performed diffusion tensor imaging to display the activated fibers projecting from the CM-Voi to the different motor cortex regions of interest. These analyses showed that the extent of tic reduction during DBS is associated with the degree of stimulation-dependent connectivity between CM-Voi and the motor cortex, and in particular, an increased density of projections to the presupplementary motor area (preSMA). Non-responder patients displayed the largest amount of active fibers projecting into cortical areas other than motor cortex compared to responder patients. These findings support the notion that an abnormal connectivity of thalamocortical pathways underlies TS, and that modulation of these circuits through DBS could restore the function and reduce symptoms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Tourette syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder putatively associated with a hyperdopaminergic state. Therefore, it seems plausible that excessive dopamine transmission in Tourette syndrome alters the ability to learn based on rewards and punishments. We tested whether Tourette syndrome patients exhibited altered reinforcement learning and corresponding feedback-related EEG deflections. METHODS We used a reinforcement learning task providing factual and counterfactual feedback in a sample of 15 Tourette syndrome patients and matched healthy controls whilst recording EEG. The paradigm presented various reward probabilities to enforce adaptive adjustments. We employed a computational model to derive estimates of the prediction error, which we used for single-trial regression analysis of the EEG data. RESULTS We found that Tourette syndrome patients showed increased choice stochasticity compared to controls. The feedback-related negativity represented an axiomatic prediction error for factual feedback and did not differ between groups. We observed attenuated P3a modulation specifically for factual feedback in Tourette syndrome patients, representing impaired coding of attention allocation. CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that cortical prediction error coding is unaffected by Tourette syndrome. Nonetheless, the transfer of learned values into choice formation is degraded, in line with a hyperdopaminergic state.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Deep brain stimulation (DBS) can be an effective therapy for tics and comorbidities in select cases of severe, treatment-refractory Tourette syndrome (TS). Clinical responses remain variable across patients, which may be attributed to differences in the location of the neuroanatomical regions being stimulated. We evaluated active contact locations and regions of stimulation across a large cohort of patients with TS in an effort to guide future targeting. METHODS We collected retrospective clinical data and imaging from 13 international sites on 123 patients. We assessed the effects of DBS over time in 110 patients who were implanted in the centromedial (CM) thalamus (n=51), globus pallidus internus (GPi) (n=47), nucleus accumbens/anterior limb of the internal capsule (n=4) or a combination of targets (n=8). Contact locations (n=70 patients) and volumes of tissue activated (n=63 patients) were coregistered to create probabilistic stimulation atlases. RESULTS Tics and obsessive-compulsive behaviour (OCB) significantly improved over time (p<0.01), and there were no significant differences across brain targets (p>0.05). The median time was 13 months to reach a 40% improvement in tics, and there were no significant differences across targets (p=0.84), presence of OCB (p=0.09) or age at implantation (p=0.08). Active contacts were generally clustered near the target nuclei, with some variability that may reflect differences in targeting protocols, lead models and contact configurations. There were regions within and surrounding GPi and CM thalamus that improved tics for some patients but were ineffective for others. Regions within, superior or medial to GPi were associated with a greater improvement in OCB than regions inferior to GPi. CONCLUSION The results collectively indicate that DBS may improve tics and OCB, the effects may develop over several months, and stimulation locations relative to structural anatomy alone may not predict response. This study was the first to visualise and evaluate the regions of stimulation across a large cohort of patients with TS to generate new hypotheses about potential targets for improving tics and comorbidities.

Abstract
Importance Collective evidence has strongly suggested that deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a promising therapy for Tourette syndrome. Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of DBS in a multinational cohort of patients with Tourette syndrome. Design, Setting, and Participants The prospective International Deep Brain Stimulation Database and Registry included 185 patients with medically refractory Tourette syndrome who underwent DBS implantation from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2016, at 31 institutions in 10 countries worldwide. Exposures Patients with medically refractory symptoms received DBS implantation in the centromedian thalamic region (93 of 163 [57.1%]), the anterior globus pallidus internus (41 of 163 [25.2%]), the posterior globus pallidus internus (25 of 163 [15.3%]), and the anterior limb of the internal capsule (4 of 163 [2.5%]). Main Outcomes and Measures Scores on the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale and adverse events. Results The International Deep Brain Stimulation Database and Registry enrolled 185 patients (of 171 with available data, 37 females and 134 males; mean [SD] age at surgery, 29.1 [10.8] years [range, 13-58 years]). Symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder were present in 97 of 151 patients (64.2%) and 32 of 148 (21.6%) had a history of self-injurious behavior. The mean (SD) total Yale Global Tic Severity Scale score improved from 75.01 (18.36) at baseline to 41.19 (20.00) at 1 year after DBS implantation (P < .001). The mean (SD) motor tic subscore improved from 21.00 (3.72) at baseline to 12.91 (5.78) after 1 year (P < .001), and the mean (SD) phonic tic subscore improved from 16.82 (6.56) at baseline to 9.63 (6.99) at 1 year (P < .001). The overall adverse event rate was 35.4% (56 of 158 patients), with intracranial hemorrhage occurring in 2 patients (1.3%), infection in 4 patients with 5 events (3.2%), and lead explantation in 1 patient (0.6%). The most common stimulation-induced adverse effects were dysarthria (10 [6.3%]) and paresthesia (13 [8.2%]). Conclusions and Relevance Deep brain stimulation was associated with symptomatic improvement in patients with Tourette syndrome but also with important adverse events. A publicly available website on outcomes of DBS in patients with Tourette syndrome has been provided.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For more than 15 years, deep brain stimulation (DBS) has served as a last-resort treatment for severe treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). METHODS From 2010 to 2016, 20 patients with OCD (10 men/10 women) were included in a single-centre trial with a naturalistic open-label design over 1 year to evaluate the effects of DBS in the anterior limb of the internal capsule and nucleus accumbens region (ALIC-NAcc) on OCD symptoms, executive functions, and personality traits. RESULTS ALIC-NAcc-DBS significantly decreased OCD symptoms (mean Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale reduction 33%, 40% full responders) and improves global functioning without loss of efficacy over 1 year. No significant changes were found in depressive or anxiety symptoms. Our study did not show any effect of ALIC-NAcc-DBS on personality traits or executive functions, and no potential outcome predictors were identified in a post hoc analysis. Other than several individual minor adverse events, ALIC-NAcc-DBS has been shown to be safe, but 35% of patients reported a sudden increase in anxiety and anhedonia after acute cessation of stimulation. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that ALIC-NAcc-DBS is a well-tolerated and promising last-resort treatment option for OCD. The cause of variability in the outcome remains unclear, and the aspect of reversibility must be examined critically. The present data from one of the largest samples of patients with OCD treated with DBS thus far support the results of previous studies with smaller samples.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Deep brain stimulation for obsessive-compulsive disorder is a rapidly developing treatment strategy for treatment-refractory patients. Both the exact target and impact on distributed brain networks remain a matter of debate. Here, we investigated which regions connected to stimulation sites contribute to clinical improvement effects and whether connectivity is able to predict outcomes. METHODS We analyzed 22 patients (13 female) with treatment-refractory obsessive-compulsive disorder undergoing deep brain stimulation targeting the anterior limb of the internal capsule/nucleus accumbens. We calculated stimulation-dependent optimal connectivity separately for patient-specific connectivity data of 10 patients and for 12 additional patients using normative connectivity. Models of optimal connectivity were subsequently used to predict outcome in both an out-of-sample cross-validation and a leave-one-out cross-validation across the whole group. RESULTS The resulting models successfully cross-predicted clinical outcomes of the respective other sample, and a leave-one-out cross-validation across the whole group further demonstrated robustness of our findings (r = .630, p < .001). Specifically, the degree of connectivity between stimulation sites and medial and lateral prefrontal cortices significantly predicted clinical improvement. Finally, we delineated a frontothalamic pathway that is crucial to be modulated for beneficial outcome. CONCLUSIONS Specific connectivity profiles, encompassing frontothalamic streamlines, can predict clinical outcome of deep brain stimulation for obsessive-compulsive disorder. After further validation, our findings may be used to guide both deep brain stimulation targeting and programming and to inform noninvasive neuromodulation targets for obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Abstract
Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a neuropsychiatric disease characterized by a combination of motor and vocal tics. Deep brain stimulation (DBS), already widely utilized for Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders, is an emerging therapy for select and severe cases of TS that are resistant to medication and behavioral therapy. Over the last two decades, DBS has been used experimentally to manage severe TS cases. The results of case reports and small case series have been variable but in general positive. The reported interventions have, however, been variable, and there remain non-standardized selection criteria, various brain targets, differences in hardware, as well as variability in the programming parameters utilized. DBS centers perform only a handful of TS DBS cases each year, making large-scale outcomes difficult to study and to interpret. These limitations, coupled with the variable effect of surgery, and the overall small numbers of TS patients with DBS worldwide, have delayed regulatory agency approval (e.g., FDA and equivalent agencies around the world). The Tourette Association of America, in response to the worldwide need for a more organized and collaborative effort, launched an international TS DBS registry and database. The main goal of the project has been to share data, uncover best practices, improve outcomes, and to provide critical information to regulatory agencies. The international registry and database has improved the communication and collaboration among TS DBS centers worldwide. In this paper we will review some of the key operation details for the international TS DBS database and registry.

Abstract
Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a neuropsychiatric disease characterized by a combination of motor and vocal tics. Deep brain stimulation (DBS), already widely utilized for Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders, is an emerging therapy for select and severe cases of TS that are resistant to medication and behavioral therapy. Over the last two decades, DBS has been used experimentally to manage severe TS cases. The results of case reports and small case series have been variable but in general positive. The reported interventions have, however, been variable, and there remain non-standardized selection criteria, various brain targets, differences in hardware, as well as variability in the programming parameters utilized. DBS centers perform only a handful of TS DBS cases each year, making large-scale outcomes difficult to study and to interpret. These limitations, coupled with the variable effect of surgery, and the overall small numbers of TS patients with DBS worldwide, have delayed regulatory agency approval (e.g., FDA and equivalent agencies around the world). The Tourette Association of America, in response to the worldwide need for a more organized and collaborative effort, launched an international TS DBS registry and database. The main goal of the project has been to share data, uncover best practices, improve outcomes, and to provide critical information to regulatory agencies. The international registry and database has improved the communication and collaboration among TS DBS centers worldwide. In this paper we will review some of the key operation details for the international TS DBS database and registry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A significant proportion of patients with Tourette syndrome (TS) continue to experience symptoms across adulthood that in severe cases fail to respond to standard therapies. For these cases, deep brain stimulation (DBS) is emerging as a promising treatment option. OBJECTIVE We conducted a systematic literature review to evaluate the efficacy of DBS for GTS. METHODS Individual data of case reports and series were pooled; the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) was chosen as primary outcome parameter. RESULTS In total, 57 studies were eligible, including 156 cases. Overall, DBS resulted in a significant improvement of 52.68% (IQR = 40.74, p < 0.001) in the YGTSS. Analysis of controlled studies significantly favored stimulation versus off stimulation with a standardized mean difference of 0.96 (95% CI: 0.36-1.56). Disentangling different target points revealed significant YGTSS reductions after stimulation of the thalamus, the posteroventrolateral part and the anteromedial part of the globus pallidus internus, the anterior limb of the internal capsule and nucleus accumbens with no significant difference between these targets. A significant negative correlation of preoperative tic scores with the outcome of thalamic stimulation was found. CONCLUSIONS Despite small patient numbers, we conclude that DBS for GTS is a valid option for medically intractable patients. Different brain targets resulted in comparable improvement rates, indicating a modulation of a common network. Future studies might focus on a better characterization of the clinical effects of distinct regions, rather than searching for a unique target.

Abstract
Owing to a high response rate, deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the ventral striatal area has been approved for treatment-refractory obsessive-compulsive disorder (tr-OCD). Many basic issues regarding DBS for tr-OCD are still not understood, in particular, the mechanisms of action and the origin of side effects. We measured prepulse inhibition (PPI) in treatment-refractory OCD patients undergoing DBS of the nucleus accumbens (NAcc) and matched controls. As PPI has been used in animal DBS studies, it is highly suitable for translational research. Eight patients receiving DBS, eight patients with pharmacological treatment and eight age-matched healthy controls participated in our study. PPI was measured twice in the DBS group: one session with the stimulator switched on and one session with the stimulator switched off. OCD patients in the pharmacologic group took part in a single session. Controls were tested twice, to ensure stability of data. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences between controls and (1) patients with pharmacological treatment and (2) OCD DBS patients when the stimulation was switched off. Switching the stimulator on led to an increase in PPI at a stimulus-onset asynchrony of 200 ms. There was no significant difference in PPI between OCD patients being stimulated and the control group. This study shows that NAcc-DBS leads to an increase in PPI in tr-OCD patients towards a level seen in healthy controls. Assuming that PPI impairments partially reflect the neurobiological substrates of OCD, our results show that DBS of the NAcc may improve sensorimotor gating via correction of dysfunctional neural substrates. Bearing in mind that PPI is based on a complex and multilayered network, our data confirm that DBS most likely takes effect via network modulation.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative movement disorders, such as Huntington's disease (HD), have become a promising field for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). This study aims to contribute to the establishment of a well-grounded database including both expected and unexpected effects of pallidal DBS in HD, and to discuss the ethical and legal restrictions of DBS in cognitively limited patients. Evaluation of the outcome data indicates that pallidal DBS exerted an independent effect on motor symptoms but probably also on the patient's cognitive and affective state. The cognitive decline, however, that characterizes the late stage of neurodegenerative disorders implicates ethical and legal problems given the patients' inability to give informed consent to DBS.

Abstract
Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neuropsychiatric disorder with typical onset in childhood and characterized by chronic occurrence of motor and vocal tics. The disorder can lead to serious impairments of both quality of life and psychosocial functioning, particularly for those individuals displaying complex tics. In such patients, drug treatment is recommended. The pathophysiology of TS is thought to involve a dysfunction of basal ganglia-related circuits and hyperactive dopaminergic innervations. Congruently, dopamine receptor antagonism of neuroleptics appears to be the most efficacious approach for pharmacological intervention. To assess the efficacy of the different neuroleptics available, a systematic, keyword-related search in PubMed (National Library of Medicine, Washington, DC) was undertaken. Much information on the use of antipsychotics in the treatment of TS is based on older data. Our objective was to give an update and therefore we focused on papers published in the last decade (between 2001 and 2011). Accordingly, the present review aims to summarize the current and evidence-based knowledge on the risk-benefit ratio of both first and second generation neuroleptics in TS.
