TMS: Yes, at the university it is used as a diagnostic tool to measure activity & function of specific brain circuits, such as measuring connections between primary motor cortex & a muscle, to evaluate damage from strokes or ALS or ms or movement disorders or movement disorders. Use in tic disorders is still being researched.

Boston: The ocd institute in boston is among the world's greatest resource for tourette's treatment options. I have referred several patients who have been very pleased with results. Hopkins (baltimore), yale (conn), and a group in england also have top notch people researching and treating tourette's. Very exciting developments occurring in tic and tourette research.
