  1. Something I always wondered about people with #tourettes and #ticdisorders:

    We're almost always empaths.

    The part of our brain - the #prefrontalcortex - responsible for #empathy is slightly larger than usual while the part of our brain in our #basalganglia regulating motor planning/control, has faulty neuro-pathways and shrunken parts.

    More connections to the PFC as an adaptation, resulting in glitchy motor controls but perhaps very deep emotions.
