| \citep{25185800} | Visual feedback of own tics increases tic frequency in patients with Tourette’s syndrome. | – |   | \citep{25193042} | Influence of gender on Tourette syndrome beyond adolescence | Pursues an unsolved clue about TS: Why are boys at higher risk? |  | \citep*{26177119} | Anthropomorphic triangles | This clever study results from Dr. Eddy's research on social cognition in TS. People with TS tended to attribute human-like intentions to brief ambiguous animated sequences showing two triangles moving. This tendency was not explained by other constructs such as executive function, alexithymia or clinical symptoms. |  | \citep{26246137} | Baby videos provide a clue | Videos of 18 boys, recorded before age 6 months, showed more fidgety movements in 10 boys who later were diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder than in 8 boys who had only transient autistic features. Many of the latter had tics and ADHD. These results, combined with the recent nearly ubiquitous availability of home baby videos in some cultures, suggest apossible powerful  pseudo-prospective study design to identify features predicting later development of TS.
