A member asked:

Could a motor tic in the head (head jerking) cause brain cell loss or damage?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Motor tics are considered a sign of electrical short circuiting of neural impulses.By themselves they produce no damage but may reflect some injury or abnormal nerve pathways further up in the system.
