For children with attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or tic disorder (TD), we recently reported deficient inhibitory mechanisms within the motor system by using transcranial magnetic stimulation. These deficits--stated as reduced intracortical inhibition in ADHD and shortened cortical silent period in TD--could be seen as neurophysiological correlates of motor hyperactivity and tics, respectively. To investigate neurophysiological aspects of comorbidity, we measured motor system excitability for the first time also in children with combined ADHD and TD. The findings of a reduced intracortical inhibition as well as a shortened cortical silent period in these comorbid children provide evidence for additive effects at the level of motor system excitability.
